An electrical connector assembly that includes a first electrical component having a housing supporting at least one first contact, and including an interface end with a first alignment member. A second electrical component is configured to mate with the first component and has a housing supporting at least one second contact, and includes an interface end with a second alignment member adapted to engage the first alignment member. At least a first magnet is disposed at the interface end of the first component and has a first polarization. At least a second magnet is disposed at the interface end of the second component and has a second polarization that is the opposite of the first polarization. The first and second magnets attract one another to self-align the components such that the alignment members are engaged with one another and the contacts are mated with one another.
