US Patent 10498081 Self-aligning connector for a light fixture

A self-aligning connector assembly for a light fixture. In some embodiments, the self-aligning connector assembly includes a base and a self-alignment component. The base includes a first alignment feature extending from a platform and a first electrical contact, and the self-alignment component includes a second alignment feature and a second electrical contact. When the self-alignment component is positioned over and then released onto the base, the first alignment feature mates with the second alignment feature which causes rotation of the self-alignment component under the force of gravity, resulting in operably connecting the first electrical contact to the second electrical contact.
