[0023] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0024] Example

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a connector assembly for battery replacement and a battery replacement system, the connector assembly includes a vehicle-end connector 10 and a battery-end connector 20, wherein the vehicle-end connector 10 is connected to the battery-end connector 20; the vehicle-end connector 10 includes a high-voltage connector 1, wherein the high-voltage connector 1 is arranged in a housing 3;

[0026] The battery terminal connector 20 includes a second shell 7 and a guide member 8 disposed in the second shell 7, and the guide member 8 realizes a guiding function.

[0027] A floating component 5 is also provided in the housing 3, wherein a plurality of elastic components 2 are provided on the fixed plate 4 connected to the floating component 5; and a high-voltage connector 1 is installed at the end of the elastic component 2.
