This 6-pin racetrack magnetic electrical connector combines six spring-loaded contacts with a through-hole mounting interface. The specified current rating is 3 A, the rated voltage is 24 V DC, and the specified voltage range is 5–24 V DC. Its racetrack, or obround, housing can be integrated with a corresponding PCB and device-side mating structure.
NdFeB magnets assist capture and retention during mating. The specified magnetic force is at least 2600 gf (approximately 25.5 N). Brass contacts provide electrical connection, while the spring-loaded contact structure accommodates compression along the contact axis. Final orientation and seating are defined by the mechanical interface.

The values above identify this model. Dimensions, contact pitch, working stroke, pin assignment and any custom material configuration are confirmed in the approved drawing for the ordered version.
The connector uses a non-circular racetrack-shaped body rather than a conventional round or rectangular connector envelope. This geometry can be evaluated where the available enclosure opening, installation space or mating interface favors an obround structure.
Six spring-loaded contacts are arranged within the insulated mating face. The exact row arrangement, contact pitch and spacing should be confirmed from the approved connector drawing before PCB or enclosure design is released.
The magnetic, mechanical and electrical functions should be considered separately:
Magnetic capture does not by itself establish final mechanical seating or confirm a valid electrical connection.
A non-circular connector body can help constrain rotational orientation when it is integrated with corresponding enclosure geometry. However, racetrack shape alone should not be treated as proof of anti-mismating performance.
If the project requires reverse-mating prevention or a defined polarization function, the complete connector pair should include confirmed mechanical keying, asymmetric geometry or another approved orientation-control feature.
This connector uses through-hole mounting. Review the PCB footprint, available X/Y/Z installation space, enclosure opening, mating direction and retention arrangement together. The supplied housing-material specification lists nylon, brass, copper and PA66 with 30% glass fiber (PA66+30%GF). The selected material configuration and final dimensions should be identified in the approved drawing.
The spring-loaded contacts should operate within the working stroke defined by the approved connector drawing. Working stroke is different from total available mechanical travel.
The pogo pins should provide controlled electrical-contact compliance and should not be used as the final mechanical stop for the connector assembly.
Six contacts provide six available electrical positions, but pin count does not determine their functions. Power, return, signal, control, sensing or identification assignments should be established through the customer-approved pin map.
The published model rating is 3 A and 24 V DC, with a specified 5–24 V DC voltage range. Define the contact assignments and application circuit before confirming signal functions or communication requirements.
The specified current rating for this model is 3 A. Review the intended application across the complete conductive path:
Source → PCB / cable → termination → pogo pin → contact interface → target → load.
Use the specified 3 A model rating when evaluating the application. Confirm contact allocation, conductor geometry, PCB routing and thermal conditions for the complete assembly. Contact size and pin count alone do not define a different current rating.
If multiple contacts are assigned in parallel, current sharing between those contacts should also be evaluated.
A 6-pin connector does not automatically support charging, data communication or a specific protocol. Each contact function must be defined by the approved electrical interface.
Any data requirement should be evaluated using the actual pin map, return-path strategy, contact geometry, PCB transition, FPC or cable design and the complete communication channel.
This model specifies NdFeB magnets and magnetic force of at least 2600 gf. Review the intended mating and removal directions when integrating the connector with the device.
Capture force, retention force, separation force and peel force can represent different mechanical requirements and should be specified independently when relevant to the project.
Application areas for evaluation include power interfaces, aerospace equipment, automotive equipment, data communication, electrical equipment, LED lighting, PCB interconnects, wire connections, audio/video interfaces and FPC integration. The six contacts can be assigned to the approved application circuit within the racetrack mating geometry.
Confirm suitability for the complete device using installation space, pin assignment, the 3 A / 24 V DC model rating, mating tolerance, magnetic requirements and environmental conditions. Application categories describe integration possibilities; application-specific qualification remains part of the customer project.
The visible connector geometry does not establish a waterproof or IP rating. If sealing is required, the connector body, enclosure opening, mating interface, gasket or sealing structure and completed assembly should be designed and validated together.
The specified operating-temperature range is −40°C to +85°C, and the product is specified as RoHS compliant. Any additional ingress-protection, corrosion, salt-spray or plating requirement should be confirmed for the ordered configuration.
CTP can review project-specific requirements around racetrack dimensions, contact arrangement, pin assignment, mounting and termination structure, mating geometry and magnetic behavior.
Final dimensions and electrical specifications should be released through an approved connector drawing rather than inferred from an existing product image.
Racetrack, or obround, describes the non-circular external connector geometry. It provides a defined mechanical envelope that can be integrated with a matching enclosure or mating opening.
Not by itself. Anti-mismating performance requires a confirmed polarization, keying or asymmetric mechanical strategy in the complete mating interface.
No. Six pins only define the number of physical contacts. Their power, return, signal, sensing or communication functions must be established by the approved pin map.
The specified current rating is 3 A. Confirm the application circuit and complete conductive path, including PCB conductors, termination and the mating interface, when selecting the connector.
Parallel contact assignments can be evaluated for a specific electrical design, but current sharing, conductor resistance and thermal performance must be considered.
The magnets assist capture and retention. Final orientation, alignment and seating should be controlled by the mechanical geometry, datums, guides or stops of the completed interface.
No IP rating should be inferred from the visible connector geometry alone. Environmental protection must be defined and validated at the completed assembly level.
Provide the available installation space, enclosure opening, pin map, voltage, current, working stroke, mating tolerance, magnetic requirements, termination method and available 2D or 3D drawings.
If this 6-pin racetrack magnetic connector architecture is close to your device requirements, submit the connector envelope, pin map, electrical conditions, mating requirements and available drawings for engineering review.

The model specifications are listed in the Product Specifications table above. Custom changes to dimensions, pin assignment, material configuration, electrical ratings, magnetic structure or sealing are confirmed against the approved project drawing and application requirements.
CTP reviews the application and prepares a drawing or specification for approval before sample production. Test scope, acceptance criteria and report format should identify the model, sample status, method, conditions, result and review date.
Yes. Customization can cover geometry, contact layout, materials, cable construction, magnetic structure, sealing and appearance. Feasibility depends on the application and approved specification.
No. Current, voltage, resistance, temperature rise and ingress-protection claims apply only to the identified model and stated test conditions.
Timing is confirmed after the drawing, materials, tooling, sample quantity, validation scope and production requirements have been reviewed.
