  • the plug connector 7 and the mating plug connector 8 can be fixed in the respective fastening element 5, 6 so as to be secure against rotation and tilting, but can still be moved in the manner of a linear guide along exactly one degree of translational freedom x, y.
  • the connector 7 and the mating connector 8 are each captive in the recess 9 of the respective fastening element 5, 6, it can be provided that the front, open end of the recess 9 is narrower, whereby the connector 7 or the mating connector 8 in the recess 9 is able to engage.
  • a cover element 13 can also be provided, which is screwed to the fastening element 5, 6, for example, as in the case of the first fastening element 5 in FIG Figure 1 shown as an example. In principle, however, loss protection can also be omitted entirely.
  • the plug connector 7 is connected to the first fastening element 5 in such a way that the central axis M S of the plug connector 7 is aligned parallel to the course of the mechanical guide 3.
  • the mating connector 8 is connected to the second fastening element 6 in such a way that the central axis M G of the mating connector 8 is also aligned parallel to the course of the mechanical guide 3.
  • the connector 7 has a first guide means 14 in order, together with the mating connector 8, to form a rough guide in order to position the connector 7 and the mating connector 8 relative to one another for mating.
  • the mating connector 8 has a corresponding second guide means 15 in the exemplary embodiments.
  • the rough guide is designed to move the connector 7 and the mating connector 8 orthogonally to the course of the mechanical guide 3 in order to finally position the connector 7 and the mating connector 8 relative to one another.
  • the first guide means 14 of the plug connector 7 is designed as an insertion section for insertion into a catch funnel and the second guide means 15 of the mating connector 8 is designed as a catch funnel for receiving the insertion section 14.
  • the collecting funnel 15 tapers starting from a front end designed to receive the insertion section 14.
  • the insertion section 14 tapers in the direction of a front end to be inserted into the collecting funnel 15.
  • Figure 8 shows an example of a spherical variant.
  • Figures 5 to 7 show a second embodiment of a connector arrangement 1 according to the invention.
  • Figure 5 shows a perspective view
  • Figure 6 a sectional view with the respective fastening elements 5, 6 in a pre-positioned state
  • Figure 7 a sectional view in a closed state of the connector.
  • the connector 7 and the mating connector 8 according to the first embodiment of the Figures 1 to 4 are multi-core, show the Figures 5 to 7 a coaxial variant.
  • a radial orientation of the plug connector 7 relative to the mating plug connector 8 during the mating process is fundamentally irrelevant. Accordingly, a rotation of the connector 7 or the mating connector 8 about the central axis M S , M G is fundamentally harmless and does not necessarily have to be, as in the exemplary embodiment of FIG Figures 1 to 4 blocked.
  • the fastening elements 5, 6 of the exemplary embodiment for the connector 7 and the mating connector 8 of the Figures 5 to 7 each have a round recess 9 and are designed in two parts.
  • the connector housing 10 and the mating connector housing 11 have an annular groove 16 running around the outer circumference in an annular manner. Sufficient mechanical play is provided between the annular groove 16 and the respective fastening element 5, 6 such that at least the connector 7 is orthogonal along the first degree of translational freedom x and along the second degree of translational freedom y can move to the course of the mechanical guide 3.
  • the mating connector 8 can also be displaced along the first degree of translational freedom x and along the second degree of translational freedom y; however, this is not absolutely necessary. It can already be sufficient if only the connector 7 or the mating connector 8 can be moved.
  • the fine guide can have a mechanical coding, as in Figure 9 shown.
  • the mechanical coding can be formed, for example, by a combination of first ribs 19 formed on the inner wall of the mating connector 8 and corresponding second ribs 20 formed on the outer wall of the connector housing 10, which taper towards their front end.
  • the ribs 19, 20 can have different widths along the circumference of the connector housing 10 and the mating connector housing 11.
  • the ribs 19, 20 can, however, also have identical widths and spacings and thus support the coarse guidance (or form the coarse guidance) through the respective tips.
  • the ribs 19, 20 therefore do not necessarily have to be used for mechanical coding.
  • the coarse guide and / or the fine guide can also have a magnet arrangement.
  • the magnet arrangement can comprise one or more permanent magnets 21 (cf. Figure 10 ), for example also a permanent magnet ring in the connector 7 and / or in the mating connector 8. This advantageously allows the connector 7 and the mating connector 8 to be centered and / or radially oriented.
  • flat contacts in particular can be well suited for forming the contact elements 17 or mating contact elements 18, as in FIG Figure 10 shown.
  • the contact elements 17 and the mating contact elements 18 are designed as plug contacts and corresponding socket contacts.
  • the invention can be suitable for use with any type of contact.
  • the fine guide can also have a link control, for example in the form of a bayonet connection.
  • the mating connector housing 11 can have an outer groove 22 into which a guide pin 23 of the connector 7 can be inserted in order to align the connector 7 and / or the mating connector 8 with high precision. This is in Figure 11 indicated.
