The present disclosure provides a first electrical connector (100, 200) for coupling to a second electrical connector (350, 450, 550), the first electrical connector (100, 200) comprising a first outer enclosure (101, 201) that surrounds a first contact space (102, 202) and comprises an opening on a front side of the first electrical connector (100, 200) in longitudinal direction (112, 212) of the first contact space (102, 202), a number of first electrical contacts (103, 104, 203, 204, 205) arranged in the first contact space (102, 202) and configured to couple to second electrical contacts (353, 354, 453, 454, 553, 554) of the second electrical connector (350, 450, 550), and a light generation device (107, 207) arranged in the first contact space (102, 202) and configured to emitted light (108, 208, 308, 408) of a predetermined type. The second electrical connector (350, 450, 550) comprising a second outer enclosure (351, 451) that surrounds a second contact space (352, 452) and comprises an opening on a front side of the second electrical connector (350, 450, 550) in longitudinal direction (412) of the second contact space (352, 452), a number of second electrical contacts (353, 354, 453, 454, 553, 554) arranged in the second contact space (352, 452) and configured to couple to first electrical contacts (103, 104, 203, 204, 205) of the first electrical connector (100, 200), a light sensor (357, 457, 557) arranged in the second contact space (352, 452) and configured to sense light (108, 208, 308, 408) if the second electrical connector (350, 450, 550) is connected to a first electrical connector (100, 200), and a controller (358, 458, 558) coupled to the light sensor (357, 457, 557) and configured to determine a maximum output power (359) based on the sensed light (108, 208, 308, 408). Further, the present invention provides a respective method.
