Self-Aligning Electrical Connector System

A self-aligning electrical connector system for data and/or energy transmission, the connector system comprising:

• a first connector part including first low-load contact elements and/or first high-load contact elements;
• a second connector part attachable to the first connector part and including second low-load contact elements and/or second high-load contact elements that are complementary to the first low-load contact elements and/or the first high-load contact elements;
• the first connector part further including positioning pins and the second connector part further including positioning chambers, the positioning pins being engageable in the positioning chambers to achieve rough positioning of the first and second connector parts relative to one another;
• a flat support frame having spring arms formed thereon;
• the first connector part being floatingly arranged on the support frame with three rotational and at least two translational degrees of freedom;
• wherein the first connector part includes flat elements that protrude laterally in opposite directions and that are loaded with a spring force by the spring arms in a direction of the support frame;
• and
• the first connector part further includes a ball socket positioned between the flat elements, the ball socket supporting a ball which rests against the support frame.
