Electrical Functions
List voltage, current, power, return, signal, control, detection and identification paths.
Use this engineering resource center to select the correct magnetic connector, magnetic cable assembly or pogo pin product path. Compare contact counts, power and signal requirements, high-current conditions, industrial environments and wearable charging applications before submitting a custom project.
Start with the question that most closely matches the current project stage. Each guide leads to the appropriate current product category after the key engineering inputs are defined.
Use these guides when the required supply is a magnetic mating connector component rather than a complete cable assembly.
Start with electrical functions, installation space, mating orientation, connector shape and supply scope.
Compare special one-contact structures, complete two-contact paths and third-contact functions.
Determine whether four contacts complete the circuit or whether a fifth independent path is required.
Calculate the contact budget and compare single-row, multi-row and customized contact-array structures.
Use these guides when the supplied product must include the magnetic connector, cable conductors, cable length, termination and mechanical protection.
Compare connector components and finished cable assemblies, then define cable length, conductor and termination.
Review complete supply and return paths, polarity, cable length and voltage-drop considerations.
Define auxiliary contacts, signal requirements, source-side wiring and device-side contact mapping.
Define current profile, total loop resistance, voltage drop, contact allocation and temperature validation.
Review installation zones, movement, vibration, contamination, strain relief and maintenance access.
Review interface placement, compact packaging, docking behavior, sweat exposure and breakaway requirements.
The guide can provide a more accurate product route when the electrical, mechanical, cable and operating conditions are defined together.
List voltage, current, power, return, signal, control, detection and identification paths.
Provide available length, width, height, PCB area, mating direction and device geometry.
Define cable length, outlet direction, conductor needs, movement and opposite-end termination.
Provide the application, environment, validation requirements, quantity and available drawings.
Enter the current product catalogs when the supply scope, contact count and basic connector structure have been defined.
Submit the electrical functions, installation space, cable requirements, operating conditions and available drawings. The project can then be routed to the appropriate magnetic connector, magnetic cable or pogo pin solution.
