4-HEAD 2 PIN MAGNETIC CHARGING CABLE
This multi-head magnetic charging cable assembly uses four cable-side magnetic heads connected through a branched cable structure. Each head has two side-by-side electrical contact positions inside a compact square mating housing.
The reference configuration combines a common cable trunk with four branch leads. The exact electrical relationship between the branches, including whether the heads operate simultaneously or share a common power source, must be defined by the approved wiring diagram.
Magnets primarily assist capture and retention at each charging head. Final position, alignment and seating should be controlled by the square housing, mating surfaces and mechanical datums rather than magnetic attraction alone.
The visible assembly contains four cable-side magnetic charging heads branching from a common cable section. This differs from a conventional single-head magnetic charging cable because the trunk, breakout section and individual branches must be evaluated as one complete harness.
Head Count Four cable-side magnetic heads
Pin Count 2 Pin per head
Head Geometry Square / compact rectangular
Cable Structure Common trunk + multiple branches
Each magnetic head contains two visible electrical contact positions arranged side-by-side within a recessed mating area.
The approved Pin Map should define Pin 1 orientation, viewing direction, power and return allocation and any polarity-control requirements.
Pin Count → 2 Pin per Head
Pin Functions → Defined by Approved Drawing
Branch Wiring Topology → To Be Confirmed
The same Pin Map and polarity orientation should be controlled across all four heads unless the project intentionally defines different branch functions.
A multi-head cable requires separate evaluation of the current in each branch and the current carried by the common cable trunk.
If all four branches are connected to one common source and may operate at the same time, the source-side current is the sum of the active branch currents:
Itotal = I1 + I2 + I3 + I4
This does not mean that each head automatically carries the same current. Device load, branch resistance, cable length and connector resistance can differ between branches.
Main-trunk conductor size should therefore be reviewed against total expected current, while each branch conductor should be reviewed against its individual load and temperature-rise requirement.
Each charging branch has its own conductive path. Branch length and conductor resistance can therefore produce different voltage drops at the four magnetic heads.
Vdropi = Ii × Rpathi
Ploss,total = Σ(Ii² × Rpathi)
Branch cable length, wire gauge, junction resistance, contact resistance and device-side resistance should be included when evaluating voltage available at each load.
Equal-looking branch cables should not automatically be assumed to have equal electrical resistance without the approved cable drawing and conductor specification.
The branch point is a critical part of a multi-head charging cable because electrical current and mechanical cable loads are transferred between the common trunk and the individual branch leads.
The approved cable drawing should define main-trunk length, branch lengths, wire gauge, conductor allocation, breakout construction, strain relief and cable outlet directions.
If the assembly is repeatedly moved, pulled or flexed, cable-bending and branch-junction validation should be included in the project-specific test plan.
Each magnetic head should be treated as an individual mating interface for mechanical-force evaluation.
Capture force, retention force, separation force and peel force describe different mechanical conditions and should not be represented by one undefined magnetic-force value.
Magnetic retention should also be distinguished between a single head and the overall cable assembly. A force measured on one mated head cannot automatically be multiplied by four to describe the behavior of the complete harness.
Final position and alignment should be controlled by the mating housings and mechanical datums.
The square head geometry can provide defined rotational orientation when the matching device-side geometry includes corresponding mechanical features.
Square shape alone does not prove perfect alignment, anti-vibration performance or a defined locking condition.
Mechanical stops, mating depth, X/Y tolerance and angular orientation should be defined by the approved connector and device drawings.
Two electrical contact positions are visible in each head, but the internal spring-loaded structure should be confirmed from the approved contact drawing.
If pogo contacts are used, working stroke, total travel, spring force and installed compression should be specified separately.
Working stroke represents the intended operating compression, while total travel represents the available mechanical movement of the contact.
The square connector housing should define the final seated position. Spring-loaded contacts should provide electrical contact and controlled Z-axis compliance rather than serve as the main mechanical hard stop.
The reference image shows a separate device-side mating component, but the complete supply quantity and mounting method should be confirmed for the project.
PCB, FPC, wire, housing-embedded or another device-side termination should only be stated after the approved mechanical and electrical drawings define the actual configuration.
If one mating component is required for each of the four cable heads, the final supply scope should explicitly identify the quantity and device-side installation method.
Multi-head construction, square housing geometry and recessed contacts do not by themselves establish corrosion resistance, vibration performance, cycle life or waterproof capability.
Contact material, plating, cable jacket, branch-junction construction, housing and environmental requirements should be defined for the actual project.
An IP rating should only be stated after the complete mated interfaces, device housings and sealing architecture have been defined and tested.

The four-head branched architecture can be evaluated for equipment requiring several detachable two-contact charging interfaces from one cable assembly.
Final application suitability depends on the wiring topology, total load, branch currents, cable lengths, mating structures and environmental requirements.
It is a branched cable assembly with four magnetic charging heads. Each head uses a two-contact charging interface, while the common cable trunk and branch wiring are defined according to the project.
No. Each magnetic head is a separate 2-pin interface. Four 2-pin heads should not be described as one 8-pin mating connector.
Simultaneous operation must be confirmed by the electrical design. The source capability, common-trunk wire gauge, branch currents and temperature rise must support the intended operating condition.
When the four branches share one source, total source current is the sum of the active branch currents. Each branch and the common trunk must be sized for its actual electrical load.
Not necessarily. Voltage drop depends on branch current, cable length, conductor resistance, junction resistance and contact resistance for each path.
The square housing can provide a defined mechanical orientation when used with corresponding mating geometry. Final position and alignment still depend on the complete mechanical interface.
The target retention can be specified consistently, but actual force must be validated for each approved head and mating configuration. Capture, retention, separation and peel conditions should be distinguished.
Two contact positions are visible, but the internal spring-loaded contact structure, working stroke and total travel should be confirmed by the approved contact drawing.
Yes. Main-trunk and branch lengths can be reviewed for the required equipment layout, but conductor resistance, voltage drop, cable routing and mechanical strain should be evaluated together.
Provide the required head count, Pin Map, voltage, current per head, simultaneous-load condition, main-trunk and branch lengths, wire gauges, source-side termination, mating dimensions, magnetic requirements and available device drawings.
