ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (100) comprising a male (120) and female (150) part, each part (120, 150) having a magnet (135, 165) adapted to attract the parts (120, 150) together to make a connection. The parts (120, 150) can connect at any relative rotational orientation and preferred embodiments prevent offset connection between the magnets (135, 165) or parts (120, 150). The connector (100) is particularly suited for use in out of reach locations, for example to easily and safely replace light bulbs into sockets suspended from a ceiling.
