Connector element for a connector system for providing releasable electrical connection between components of a chain transmitting electrical signals

A connector element for a connector system, said connector element comprising:

• four contact members for making electric contact on a front side of the connector element;
• and
• a contact member carrier, wherein the contact member carrier comprises a circumferentially extending contact surface having an axial extent;
• wherein the contact members extend in an axial direction on the circumferentially extending contact surface of the contact member carrier;
• wherein, on the circumferentially extending contact surface of the contact member carrier, the contact members have a free contact surface which is accessible on the circumferentially extending contact surface of the contact member carrier;
• wherein each of the contact members has an insulation radius, the insulation radius being, when measured in a view onto the front face, a minimum clearance between outer boundaries of a respective one of said contact members and a closest neighbouring one of the contact members to the respective one of said contact members;
• wherein the contact members are grouped into two groups such that, for each of the contact members, the closest neighbouring one of the contact members, which defines the respective contact member's insulation radius, belongs to a different one of the two groups of the contact members from the respective one of the contact members.
