The preferred embodiments described herein provide a releasable connector system. In one preferred embodiment, a connector plug contains a conical element with a recessed groove. A jack contains features that allow mating with the conical shaped plug. Electrical contacts are embedded within the plug. The jack portion contains spring loaded contacts that are self-centered by the conical shape. The conical shape eases the ability to mate the plug and jack compared to a standard plug with a cylindrical jack. With this preferred embodiment, contact is made in any axial rotation. A lateral force to the jack or cord will dislodge the jack, reducing the likelihood of tripping over a cord, causing a fall, or damaging equipment.
