Abstract

An electrical connector includes a first connector, and a second connector detachably coupled to the first connector. The first connector has a first magnetic body and at least one first conductive body. The second connector has a second magnetic body and at least one second conductive body. The first magnetic body is capable of magnetically attracting the second magnetic body to form a sealed enclosure to receive the at least one first conductive body and the at least one second conductive body. The at least one first conductive body electrically connects to the at least one second conductive body when the first magnetic body is magnetically bound to the second magnetic body.
