1. A connector for a non-thermal plasma treatment device, the connector comprising:
a casing forming an interior space and including a planar receiving surface;
one or more alignment pegs attached to or integral with the casing, the one or more alignment pegs extending away from the interior space and beyond the receiving surface;
one or more magnets disposed within the interior space and approximate the receiving surface of the casing, the one or more magnets cooperating with the one or more alignment pegs, a ferritic metal plate of a plasma emitter device, and one or more holes of the plasma emitter device to form a magnetic latch assembly having a closed position wherein the one or more magnets attract the metal plate and the one or more alignment pegs extend through the one or more holes to secure the plasma emitter device against the receiving surface of the casing; and
a first electrical contact electrically connected to a power supply of the plasma emitter device, the first electrical contact supported by the casing and extending beyond the receiving surface, the first electrical contact being in electrical communication, when the magnetic latch assembly is in the closed position, with a first corresponding contact of one or more electrical contacts disposed on the plasma emitter device, such that the connector transmits an electric current from the power supply to the plasma emitter device.
