Abstract (en)
An electrical connector system comprising a first connector (100; 200; 300; 400; 1200; 1400) to be associated with a vehicle and a second connector (500; 1500; 1900) to be associated with a trailer for the vehicle. The first connector has an opening with an assembly of electrical sockets (102; 303; 1212; 1409), and a pair of magnets (105; 307; 1203; 1403) are located adjacent the opening (104; 306). The second connector (500; 1500; 1900) has an assembly of electrical pins (501; 1501; 1913) to engage the electrical sockets (102; 303; 1212; 1409). A pair of magnet anchors (504; 1525; 1908) is located on the second connector (500; 1500; 1900) at end regions of a largest cross-sectional dimension thereof to releasably engage the pair of magnets (105; 307; 1203; 1403) on the first connector upon joining of the first and and second connectors and interaction of the pins and sockets.
