Abstract: A safety power connector includes a male section that has contacts for carrying electric current, one or more magnets, and a protrusion. A female section has a receptacle for receiving the protrusion and has contacts that mate with contacts of the male section. When the male section is absent, “hot” electrical potential is disconnected from the contacts of the female section, thereby reducing potential for an electric shock. When the male section aligns with the female section, the protrusion inserted into the centrally located receptacle of the female section causes closure of a switch in the female section and an RFID detector in the female section detects an RFID in the male section and closes relay contacts, both in series between the hot electrical potential and the contacts, providing hot electrical potential to the contacts when the female section is connected to the male section.

When the male section aligns with the female section and the protrusion inserted into the centrally located receptacle of the female section causes closure of a switch in the female section and a magnetic field from the one or more magnets of the male section cause closure of a magnetically actuated switch caused, providing electrical potential to the contacts of the female section that are now in contact with the contacts of the male section.
