The object of the present invention is to improve charging systems in terms of their mating process and longevity. The object is achieved by providing an electrical connector (1) configured to be mated with a mating connector (10) along a mating direction (14) and comprising at least two contact elements (3) each with a contact surface (5), wherein each contact surface (5) is at least partially inclined with respect to the mating direction (14) and wherein the at least two contact elements (3) are spaced apart from each other along a circumferential direction (12) with respect to the mating direction (14). Thereby, the inclination of the contact surfaces (5) may prevent a sliding of the contact surfaces (5) on corresponding contact surfaces (11) of the mating connector (10). Thus, the amount of wear occurring during the mating process is reduced and the necessary mating force is lowered.
