ABSTRACT:
An electric signal transmission connector assembly includes at least one plug and a receptacle mounted to an electronic apparatus. The plug and the receptacle are internally provided at two opposite positions with a permanent magnet each, so that the plug may be easily connected to the receptacle through magnetic attraction between the two magnets. The plug and the receptacle also include a plurality of terminals each. When the plug and the receptacle are magnetically connected to each other, the terminals thereof are contacted with one another to enable transmission of electric signals or supply of power via the plug and the receptacle. Two or more plugs may be stacked up to magnetically connect to the same one receptacle to save a lot of space by magnetically connecting a lower connecting section of an upper plug to an upper receiving section of a lower plug.
