Abstract
An electrical interconnection system has a plug connector (1) and receptacle connector (2). The plug connector (1) includes an insulated housing (13); a number of terminals (12) received in the insulated housing (13), said the contacts being separated into two distinct sets along longitudinal direction and apart from one another vertically; an attraction member (1) assembled to the insulated housing. The receptacle connector (2) includes an insulative housing; a number of contacts (24) separated into two distinct sets along vertical direction and received in the insulative housing; a magnetic block (22) assembled to the insulative housing. The plug connector (1) and the receptacle connector (2) are securely coupled together via a magnetic attraction between the magnetic member and the attraction member thereof. The contacts of the receptacle connector contact the terminals of the plug connector, respectively.
