Abstract
Connector systems () for electrically connecting two or more electrical components include a connector () having one or more magnets (). Each magnet () is attracted to another magnet (), or to a magnetically-attractable element on the other connector () of the system () when the connectors () are mated. The magnetic attraction helps to maintain the connectors () in a mated condition. The magnets () can be oriented so that surface normals of pole faces () of the magnets () are angled in relation to a mating direction of the connectors ().
