Does the connection require automatic magnetic alignment?
Start with a Magnetic Connector. When the solution must include a finished cable, use the Magnetic Cable Connector category instead.
Explore Magnetic Connectors →CTP supplies custom products for OEM and ODM device programs. Pin layout, geometry, materials, electrical requirements, sealing and validation are confirmed.
The four product families solve different connection requirements. Start by confirming whether your project needs magnetic mating, an integrated cable, an individual spring contact or a complete multi-contact assembly.
Male and female magnetic connector structures that use spring-loaded contacts and magnetic alignment to create a detachable electrical interface.
Magnetic connector heads integrated with cable assemblies for charging, power delivery, signal connection and equipment-side interfaces.
Individual spring-loaded contacts installed directly into a PCB, plastic structure, fixture or customer-designed connector system.
Multiple spring-loaded contacts assembled with a plastic housing, support structure or PCB interface as a complete connector component.
Use this comparison to identify the correct product family before reviewing pin count, dimensions and electrical requirements.
| Product Family | What It Is | Choose It When | Main Design Variables | Catalog |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Magnetic Connector | A detachable electrical connector using spring-loaded contacts and magnetic alignment. | Automatic positioning, blind mating or quick device-side disconnection is required. | Pin count, pitch, magnetic arrangement, housing, polarity and mounting. | View products → |
| Magnetic Cable Connector | A magnetic connector head supplied as part of a complete cable assembly. | The finished solution must include a cable, charging lead or output interface. | Pin count, cable length, wire specification, cable end and connector head. | View products → |
| Pogo Pin | A single spring-loaded electrical contact without a complete connector housing. | The customer will integrate individual contacts into a PCB, fixture or mechanical structure. | Diameter, total length, stroke, spring force, mounting structure and plating. | View products → |
| Pogo Pin Connector | Multiple pogo pins assembled into a complete multi-contact connector component. | A ready multi-contact module is needed, but magnetic mating is not required. | Pin count, pitch, row layout, housing, mounting and contact allocation. | View products → |
Answer the following structural questions before selecting detailed electrical and mechanical specifications.
Start with a Magnetic Connector. When the solution must include a finished cable, use the Magnetic Cable Connector category instead.
Explore Magnetic Connectors →Choose Magnetic Cable Connectors when cable length, wire specification and the opposite-end interface are part of the required assembly.
Explore Magnetic Cable Connectors →Choose Pogo Pins when your engineering team will design the PCB, plastic carrier or surrounding connector structure.
Explore Individual Pogo Pins →Choose Pogo Pin Connectors when multiple contacts, pitch and housing must be supplied as one connector assembly.
Explore Pogo Pin Connectors →Use these supporting pages when your project is still in the comparison, concept or engineering evaluation stage.
Compare magnetic connector structures, pin-count ranges and circular or linear layouts before entering the current product catalog.
Review power-only, power-and-data, high-current, industrial and wearable cable requirements.
Start here when your project requires combined structural, electrical, magnetic, cable and connector engineering evaluation.
You do not need to confirm every specification before contacting us. The following information helps determine which product family and engineering path should be reviewed.
Send your concept, drawing or connection requirements. We will first identify whether the project should use a magnetic connector, magnetic cable assembly, individual pogo pins or a pogo pin connector assembly.
