Abstract:
A multipole connector assembly for connection of a low voltage to an electric appliance of personal use, comprising:a socket with contactable contact elements for polarized voltage transfer; and a plug that is insertable into said socket, said plug also having contactable contact elements for a polarized voltage transfer, wherein the socket and the plug are constructed as polygonal profile bodies that provide multiple plug-in positions, all of which multiple plug-in positions being related to each other by rotation about a symmetry axis, wherein the contact elements on each of the plug and of the socket include at least one first pole (+) and one second pole (âˆ’), wherein the contact elements of the first pole (+) and the second pole (âˆ’) are provided on polygonal profile body faces of the polygonal profile bodies in alternating sequence in a common direction of rotation, and wherein on at least one of the polygonal profile bodies the contact elements have a relatively large contact face for making large-surface contact with a contact face of an engaging contact element on the other polygonal profile body.
