Portable computing and communications devices are connected with other, typically fixed devices via the use of a capacitive data connector (FIG. 5). Each of the two mating sections (50, 60) of the connector includes a set of coupling plates (501, 502, 503, 601, 602, 603). When the two sections are brought into contact, the coupling plates form capacitors across which data signals can be passed Circuitry (100, 200) driving each section of the data connector is such as to create a bidirectional signaling path, thereby providing a connection which is functionally equivalent to an ohmic connection. Signals that are typically passed across dataconnectors on individual parallel leads are, in the present data connector, serialized, passed across the connector in that form and connected back to parallel form on the other side of the connection. Each section of the connector illustratively includes a permanent magnet (55, 65) to draw and hold the two sections in alignment, thereby providing a connector which is self-aligning.
