Electrical connector utilizing magnets for transformable electronic device

A transformable electronic device comprising:

• data and power distribution interconnect conductors;
• a plurality of display modules electrically coupled to the data and power distribution interconnect conductors, each of the plurality of display modules comprising one or more display screens;
• and
• a plurality of electrical connectors electrically coupled to at least one of the one or more display screens, each electrical connector comprising:
• an enclosure made of a generally non-magnetic material and including an insulating plate comprising a plate aperture;
• a permanent magnet situated inside the enclosure, the permanent magnet having a diameter that is larger than the plate aperture to prevent egress of the permanent magnet from the enclosure through the plate aperture;
• and
• a washer formed from a conductive soft ferromagnetic material comprising a washer aperture, the washer aperture being larger than the a dimension of the permanent magnet, the washer being situated proximate the insulating plate, wherein the permanent magnet and the washer are magnetically attracted so as to remain in physical contact, and wherein the washer is electrically connected to at least one conductor situated within the corresponding display module;
• and
• circuitry situated within at least one of the plurality of display modules and communicatively coupled to the one or more display screens of each of the display modules via pairs of interfaced electrical connectors of the plurality of the electrical connectors.
