Contactless connector system for coupling an electric vehicle to a power supply

The present invention relates to a contactless connector for coupling an electric vehicle to a power supply, to a belonging receptacle and to a contactless connector system. A contactless connector (102) according to the present invention comprises at least one primary side coil (106) being connected to a feeding power source for being inductively coupled to at least one secondary side coil (114) being arranged at a receptacle (104), said receptacle (104) being formed to engage with the connector (102). The primary side coil (106) is constructed rotation-symmetrically with respect to a rotation axis (108) of the connector (102), said rotation axis (108) coinciding with a plug-in direction (109) of said contactless connector (102) into the receptacle (104).
