Pin Map and Contact Functions
Define the function of each power, return, signal, control or detection contact.
Custom 14-pin magnetic pogo connector with a 7 × 2 dual-row contact layout for compact multi-contact device interfaces. The magnetic elements assist capture and retention, while spring-loaded contacts provide electrical connection and controlled Z-axis compliance. Pin assignment, current capability, signal requirements, working stroke and final mechanical integration are defined by the approved project design.
Product specifications should be reviewed together with the customer device, PCB, electrical assignment and mechanical mating conditions.

Review the product-specific description, technical parameters, contact arrangement, mechanical structure and project conditions below.
This 14-pin dual row magnetic pogo pin connector uses a compact 7 × 2 contact arrangement for removable electrical interfaces that require multiple independently defined contact functions. The product is shown as a mating connector pair, with one half using spring-loaded contacts and the corresponding half providing a flat mating contact interface.
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.
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.
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.
The connector performs three separate functions during mating:
Magnetic capture does not by itself confirm complete mechanical seating or a valid electrical connection.
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 must be evaluated across the complete conductive path:
Source → PCB / cable → termination → pogo pin → contact interface → target → load.
Using a larger number of contacts does not automatically increase the approved current rating. Where multiple contacts are assigned in parallel, current sharing between contacts should be included in the electrical and thermal evaluation.
Voltage drop and power loss should be considered using the resistance of the complete interface rather than the pogo pin alone.
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.
The connector should be integrated together 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.
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.
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 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.

The 7 × 2 dual-row architecture can be evaluated for removable device interfaces that require multiple independently assigned electrical contacts while keeping the contact array compact.
Suitable use depends on the actual pin assignment, electrical conditions, mechanical installation, mating tolerance, environmental requirements and complete device architecture.
The visible connector structure does not establish an IP rating. If sealing or environmental protection is required, the connector interface, housing, mounting structure and completed enclosure should be designed and validated together.
IP rating, salt-spray performance, plating requirements and operating temperature should only be published when supported by approved specifications or validation data.
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.
The connector uses a dual-row 7 × 2 contact arrangement, providing fourteen independently assignable contact positions.
No. Pin count does not determine data bandwidth. Data capability depends on the pin map, return paths, contact geometry, PCB transitions and the complete communication channel.
Parallel contacts can be considered as part of a project-specific design, but current sharing, termination resistance and thermal performance must be evaluated across the complete conductive path.
Current capability is project-specific and should be determined from the complete electrical path rather than contact count or pogo-pin diameter alone.
Anti-mismating or polarization performance should only be specified when the mechanical keying strategy has been confirmed by the approved connector and device drawings.
The magnets assist capture and retention. Final alignment and seating should be controlled by the mechanical features of the completed mating interface.
No IP rating should be inferred from the connector appearance alone. Environmental protection must be defined and validated for the completed assembly.
Provide the available installation space, pin map, voltage, continuous and peak current, signal requirements, working stroke, mating tolerance, magnetic requirements, termination method and available 2D or 3D drawings.
If this 14-pin dual-row magnetic connector architecture is close to your device requirements, submit the pin map, electrical conditions, available installation space and mating requirements for engineering review.

This product page presents a CTP magnetic connector configuration for engineering reference. Final dimensions, electrical ratings, materials, magnet structure, sealing level and reliability targets are not universal values; they are confirmed against the approved drawing, installation condition and model-specific validation plan.
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.
