Zusammenfassung: | A self-aligning connector may include an outer connector body and an inner connector body rotatably mounted within the outer connector body. The self-aligning connector may include a plurality of electrical contacts arranged on a face of the inner connector body and a plurality of magnets arranged in a determined pattern on the face of the inner connector body. The self-aligning connector may be configured such that when mating to a corresponding connector that may include a corresponding plurality of magnets in a determined pattern on its face, attractive and repulsive forces of the magnets on the face of the inner connector body and the face of the corresponding connector cause the inner connector body to rotate within the outer connector body to an orientation that aligns the electrical contacts on the face of the inner connector body with corresponding electrical contacts on the face of the corresponding connector. |
