Adjustment aid, wireless connector assembly, and method for monitoring a position

A wireless connector assembly, comprising:

• a first component;
• a second component that is implantable;
• and
• an adjustment aid aligning the first component and the second component relative to each other, the adjustment aid including a first adjustment electrode assembly having an excitation electrode and a pair of evaluation electrodes, the pair of evaluation electrodes are arranged with connecting lines to the excitation electrode that intersect at an angle greater than 0° and less than 180°, a second adjustment electrode assembly having a reception electrode and a pair of transmission electrodes, the pair of transmission electrodes are arranged with connecting lines to the reception electrode that intersect at an angle greater than 0° and less than 180°, and a control and evaluation circuit connected to the first adjustment electrode assembly, the first adjustment electrode assembly is arranged on the first component, the second adjustment electrode assembly is arranged on the second component, the control and evaluation circuit supplies the excitation electrode with an excitation signal and measures a measurement signal at the evaluation electrode, the measurement signal depends on a degree of overlap between the first adjustment electrode assembly and the second adjustment electrode assembly.

A method for monitoring a position of a first component and a second component relative to one another, comprising:

• providing an adjustment aid including a first adjustment electrode assembly having an excitation electrode and a pair of evaluation electrodes, the pair of evaluation electrodes are arranged with connecting lines to the excitation electrode that intersect at an angle greater than 0° and less than 180°, and a second adjustment electrode assembly having a reception electrode and a pair of transmission electrodes, the pair of transmission electrodes are arranged with connecting lines to the reception electrode that intersect at an angle greater than 0° and less than 180°, the first adjustment electrode assembly is arranged on the first component, the second adjustment electrode assembly is arranged on the second component;
• applying an excitation signal to the excitation electrode;
• measuring a measurement signal at the evaluation electrode;
• and
• comparing the measurement signal with a preset threshold value.
