Publication number: 20240079821Abstract: A connector assembly includes two electric connectors that are configured to be plugged together in a plug-in direction and rotated relative to one another in a direction of rotation into a coupled state, wherein one of the two electric connectors includes a contact and the other one of the two electric connectors includes a mating contact. A mechanical guiding system guides the movement of the two electric connectors relative one another in the plug-in direction and the movement of the two electric connectors relative to one another in the direction of rotation. The mechanical guiding system mechanically couples the movement in the direction of rotation with a movement against the plug-in direction. In the coupled state, the contact and the mating contact are pressed against each other against the plug-in direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Subhas Shrikant Hegde, Kashyap Prakash B., Danappa Hugar, Amrutha Rao C.
