ABSTRACT:
An improved connector having mating connector members with at least two paths in each connector member. Magnets are positioned in each connector to generate spatially oriented magnetic fields; the fields for one connector member being complementary to those of the other connector member. As the connector members are moved toward each other, the complementary fields align the members and maintain a releasable connection therebetween with the paths in each connector member properly aligned. The complementary magnetic fields preclude misalignment and provide quick release of the connector members when a sufficiently strong external force is applied.
