Abstract
The invention relates to contactless plug connectors and contactless plug connector systems for electromagnetically connecting a correspondrng mating plug connector. In order to allow for an electromagnetic connection, the invention suggest providing at least one antenna element arranged within the mating end of the contactless plug connector to transmit and/or to receive radio waves modulated with a predetennined carrier frequency, a transmitting/receiving circuit for modulating an inputted baseband input signal onto the predeteimined carrier frequency and transmitting the modulated baseband input signal and/or for demodulating a received radio wave into a baseband output signal. In particular, the contactless plug connector and contactless plug connector system include a securing element for securing the mating end of the contactless plug connector at close proximity to a corresponding mating end of the mating connector such that an electromagnetic connection can be established with the corresponding mating connector.
