Abstract
The present invention relates to an alignable electric connector (5), an electrical connector system, and a method for connecting an alignable electric connector (5) with a second electric connector (105). The alignable electric connector (5) is configured mount to a support structure (201) and connect with the second electric connector (105). The alignable electric connector (5) may be provided with one or more orienting structures (59, 60, 61) that mate with one or more other orienting structure (203, 110, 100) when the alignable electric connector (105) is oriented to mate with the second electric connector (105). The alignable electric connector (5) may be rotatably mounted to the support structure (201) and rotated to orient the alignable electric connector (5).
