Abstract
Various embodiments provide a connector system including a plug body and a connector body each having one of studs and jacks with parallel misaligned axes. A deformation of one or more of a plug body, studs, jacks, and a connector body is created when plugging together the misaligned studs and jacks. The deformation creates resultant forces between the studs and jacks for electrical contact. The studs and jacks may be solid metal corrosive-resistant parts, such as titanium, Hastelloy, or Inconel.
