Engineering Summary

This 14-pin dual-row magnetic pogo pin connector uses a compact 7 × 2 contact arrangement. The specified current rating is 10 A, the rated voltage is 36 V, and the specified ingress-protection rating is IP54. Gold-plated copper contacts and a brass housing form the electrical and mechanical interface. The product is shown as a mating connector pair, with a spring-contact half and a corresponding flat-contact half.

Magnetic elements positioned near both ends assist capture and retention during mating. Final connector seating and alignment should be controlled by the approved mechanical interface, while the spring-loaded contacts provide electrical connection and controlled Z-axis compliance.

14-Contact Dual-Row Architecture

Fourteen contact positions are arranged as seven contacts per row across two parallel rows. Compared with a long single-row contact array, this dual-row architecture can support a more compact contact field where the available connector length is constrained.

The fourteen contacts provide available interface positions only. Their electrical functions must be assigned through the customer-approved pin map.

Connector Pair Configuration

The visible product configuration includes a spring-contact half and a corresponding mating contact half. The final mounting structure, termination method and male/female naming convention should follow the approved project drawing.

How the Magnetic Interface Works

The connector performs three separate functions during mating:

  • Magnetic capture and retention: the magnetic elements assist engagement and retention between the two connector halves.
  • Mechanical seating and alignment: housing features, datums, guides or stops should establish the final mating position.
  • Electrical contact: the spring-loaded contacts provide electrical continuity and controlled compliance along the contact axis.

Magnetic capture does not by itself confirm complete mechanical seating or a valid electrical connection.

Pin Map and Electrical Function Planning

A 14-pin interface provides multiple contact positions, but pin count does not determine their function. Power, return, control, detection and signal assignments should be established according to the electrical architecture of the customer device.

The approved pin map should identify each contact function and any required ground or return paths before the connector interface is released for production.

Current Capability and Current Sharing

The specified current rating for this model is 10 A. Evaluate the intended application across the complete conductive path:

Source → PCB / cable → termination → pogo pin → contact interface → target → load.

Use the specified 10 A model rating when reviewing the application. Fourteen contact positions do not imply fourteen times this rating. Where contacts are assigned in parallel, current sharing and thermal conditions should be evaluated for the approved circuit.

Voltage drop and power loss should be considered using the resistance of the complete interface rather than the pogo pin alone.

Signal and Data Interface Considerations

Fourteen contacts provide flexibility for defining multiple interface functions, but the number of contacts does not establish data bandwidth.

Data capability should be reviewed using the actual pin map, return-path strategy, contact pitch, contact geometry, PCB transition, FPC or cable structure and the complete communication channel.

Mechanical Integration

The connector uses a brass housing with gold-plated copper contacts. Integrate the connector with the device housing, PCB position and mating geometry. Final mechanical positioning should be established by defined datums, guidance features or stops rather than magnetic attraction or pogo-pin compression alone.

Mechanical Information to Confirm

  • Available connector length, width and height
  • Contact pitch and row spacing
  • Mounting-hole or mounting-tab dimensions
  • Mating direction and orientation
  • Mechanical datum and stop strategy
  • Permitted X/Y/Z mating tolerance
  • PCB, FPC, wire or cable termination requirements

Polarization and Mismating Prevention

If the project requires protection against reverse orientation or incorrect mating, the connector geometry should include a defined polarization or keying strategy. The effectiveness of that strategy must be reviewed from the complete mating geometry rather than inferred from magnetic attraction alone.

Anti-mismating capability for this specific configuration should be confirmed from the approved mechanical drawing before it is specified as a product feature.

Working Stroke and Contact Compliance

The spring-loaded contacts should operate within the working stroke specified on the approved connector drawing. Working stroke must be distinguished from total mechanical travel.

The pogo pins should provide controlled contact compliance and should not be used as the structural stop for the connector assembly.

Magnetic Capture and Retention

Magnetic elements at the ends of the connector assist mating capture and retention. The required magnetic behavior should be defined according to the application rather than simply selecting the highest available magnetic force.

Capture force, retention force, separation force and peel force can represent different requirements and should be evaluated independently when relevant.

Application Fit

Application areas for evaluation include aerospace equipment, audio/video interfaces, automotive equipment, data communication, electrical equipment, FPC integration, LED lighting, microwave equipment, PCB interconnects, power interfaces and RF interfaces. The 7 × 2 dual-row contact field provides fourteen positions for the approved application circuit.

Confirm application suitability using the pin assignment, 10 A current rating, 36 V rated voltage, IP54 specification, installation space and completed device architecture. Microwave and RF applications require review of the actual frequency, impedance, contact geometry and complete signal path. Application categories do not establish a universal frequency range or data rate.

Environmental Considerations

This model has a specified IP54 ingress-protection rating. Confirm the mating condition and installation arrangement for the ordered configuration. The connector interface, brass housing, mounting structure and completed enclosure should be reviewed together for the intended environment.

The contact material is gold-plated copper and the housing material is brass. Any additional salt-spray requirement, gold-plating thickness, operating-temperature range or environmental test requirement should be confirmed for the ordered configuration.

Customization Options

CTP can review project-specific requirements including connector dimensions, contact spacing, pin assignment, termination structure, mounting geometry, mating architecture and magnetic behavior.

Final dimensions and electrical specifications should be released through an approved 2D drawing and, where required, a 3D model.
