Abstract
Disclosed herein is an electrical connector, comprising a plug and a receptacle. The plug comprises first electrical contacts electrically isolated from each other and arranged into a first outer contact annulus and a first inner contact annulus concentric with and radially spaced apart from each other. The receptacle comprises second electrical contacts electrically isolated from each other and arranged into a second outer contact annulus and a second inner contact annulus concentric with and radially spaced apart from each other. The plug is selectively connectable with the receptacle. When the plug is selectively connected with the receptacle, each of the first electrical contacts of the first outer contact annulus is in physical contact with a corresponding one of the second electrical contacts of the second outer contact annulus and each of the first electrical contacts of the first inner contact annulus is in physical contact with a corresponding one of the second electrical contacts of the second inner contact annulus.
