A MAGNETICALLY PERMEABLE CORE FOR USE IN WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER SYSTEMS

The invention relates to a contactless connector (100, 300), a system including the contactless connector and a corresponding mating connector (200), and a manufacturing method for the contactless connector. In order to enable the contactless connector to transmit/receive power to/from the corresponding mating connector, the invention suggest providing at the contactless connector an inner ferrite element (103, 203) and a coil (115, 215) arranged to at least partially surround the inner ferrite element. An outer ferrite element (107, 207) of the contactless connector is arranged to at least partially surround the coil, wherein a front end (108, 208) of the outer ferrite element facing the mating end (101, 201) of the contactless connector is recessed in an axial direction of the contactless connector with respect to a front end (103, 203) of the inner ferrite element facing the mating end. A rear end (109, 209) of the outer ferrite element is magnetically connected to a rear end (104, 204) of the inner ferrite element.
