A convertible force latching system for electrical connectors, comprising: a first connector body with a first mating face, the first connector body further comprising a latching portion movable relative to a connecting portion, the latching portion comprising: a first series of at least two magnets, each first magnet with a north pole and a south pole oriented in a first direction arranged within the first connector body proximate to the first mating surface; a second series of at least two magnets, each second magnet with a north pole and a south pole oriented in a second direction, different than the first direction, arranged within the first connector body; and a second connector body with a second mating face, the second connector body further comprising: a third series of at least two magnets, each third magnet with a north pole and a south pole oriented in a first direction arranged within the second connector body proximate to the second mating surface in a manner complementary with the arrangement of the first series; a fourth series of at least two magnets, each fourth magnet with a north pole and a south pole oriented in a second direction, different than the first direction, arranged within the connector body in a manner complementary to the second series; wherein in a first arrangement, the first and second series of magnets are aligned with the third and fourth series of magnets, respectively, in a first position such that the first and second series of magnets are attracted to the third and fourth series of magnets; characterized in that, in a second arrangement, the first and second series of magnets are aligned with the fourth and third series of magnets, respectively, in a second position such that the first and second series of magnets are repelled by the third and fourth series of magnets; and in that the rotational movement of the latching portion along a predetermined motion path relative to the connecting portion, shifts the arrangement of the first and second series of magnets from the first position to the second position. a first connector body with a first mating face, the first connector body further comprising a latching portion movable relative to a connecting portion, the latching portion comprising: a first series of at least two magnets, each first magnet with a north pole and a south pole oriented in a first direction arranged within the first connector body proximate to the first mating surface;
