   You can probably also try searching for "blind mating" connectors.   
   E.g., the battery packs in small (< 1KVA) UPSs are "driven home"   
   with no real chance to ensure the connectors will line-up when   
   they come into contact with each other.  The connector *shells*   
   are tapered to self-align.   
      
   But, again, you're looking at larger currents though the connectors   
   are pretty small, considering.   
      
   [Also a ready source of surplus parts as so many UPSs are just discarded,   
   intact]
