Abstract
The invention is directed to a multipole connector assembly for connection of a low voltage to an electric appliance (E) of personal use, with a plug ( ) insertable into a socket ( ) and with contactable contact elements ( to ) for a polarized voltage transfer, wherein the socket ( ) and the plug ( ) are constructed as polygonal profile bodies (M to M ) reversible from one plug-in position to at least one further plug-in position about a symmetry axis (S), wherein provision is made on each polygonal profile body (M to M ) for contact elements ( to ) of at least one first pole (+) and one second pole (−), wherein the contact elements of the first pole (+) and of the second pole (−) are provided on the polygonal profile body faces of the polygonal profile bodies (M to M ) in alternating sequence in a direction of rotation (U), and wherein on at least one of the polygonal profile bodies (M to M ) the contact elements have a relatively large contact face for making large-surface contact with the contact face of an engaging contact element ( to ).
