Magnetic Mating Interface
Confirm Pin count, contact allocation, magnet arrangement, connector shape, polarity control and mating direction.
This custom 1-pin round magnetic pogo pin data cable uses a central spring-loaded contact and a concentric outer contact structure for project-specific signal, detection, communication or low-voltage connections. The center and outer-contact allocation, cable length, conductor gauge, data function, magnetic retention, connector housing, strain relief and opposite-end termination can be customized according to the approved wiring diagram and project drawing.
The finished assembly must define the magnetic mating component, internal conductor arrangement, cable construction and the opposite-end connection as one complete electrical system.
Confirm Pin count, contact allocation, magnet arrangement, connector shape, polarity control and mating direction.
Define cable length, conductor count, wire specification, shielding requirements, jacket and flexibility.
Select USB, Type-C, DC plug, bare wire, terminal, PCB connection or another customized termination.
Confirm installation space, outlet direction, strain relief, exposed-contact state and user operation.
Engineering Summary: This custom 1-pin round magnetic pogo pin data cable uses one central spring-loaded contact together with a concentric outer contact structure. The center contact, outer return or reference path, cable wiring, magnetic retention and opposite-end termination must be defined together in the approved project drawing.
This product is a complete round magnetic cable assembly rather than only a single pogo pin. The visible interface includes one central pogo pin, a surrounding concentric metal structure, a magnetic housing, cable conductors, strain relief and an opposite-end plug.
The term “1 Pin” refers to the central spring-loaded pogo contact. It does not automatically define the total number of conductive paths inside the complete interface.
| Assembly Element | Engineering Function |
|---|---|
| Central pogo pin | Provides one spring-loaded electrical contact path |
| Concentric outer contact | May provide the reference, return or second electrical path according to the wiring design |
| Round magnetic structure | Assists connector capture and retention |
| Connector housing | Controls alignment, orientation and final seating |
| Cable conductors | Connect the magnetic interface to the customer electronics |
| Strain relief | Reduces bending and pulling loads at the cable exit |
The electrical function must be confirmed from the internal wiring rather than from the visible pogo pin count alone.
| Possible Architecture | Required Definition |
|---|---|
| Single-wire data interface | Signal contact, reference path, protocol, logic level and required data rate |
| Detection interface | Detection circuit, reference contact and connection-state logic |
| Power interface | Positive path, return path, polarity, current and thermal limits |
| Project-specific interface | Approved schematic, wiring diagram and complete-channel validation |
Engineering Note: One visible pogo pin does not by itself establish a complete data channel. Confirm whether the outer concentric ring is electrically conductive and how it is connected before publishing the final Pin Map.
| Specification | Product Definition |

| Outer Contact Function | Confirmed according to the approved wiring diagram |
| Data Function | Project-specific and application-validated |
| Opposite-End Termination | Confirmed according to the approved product drawing |
| Cable Length | Customized according to installation requirements |
| Wire Gauge | Selected according to signal, current and cable-length requirements |
| Magnetic Retention | Specified according to the device structure and release direction |
| Environmental Protection | Dependent on the complete connector and device sealing structure |
Data capability should be evaluated through the complete path, including the opposite-end plug, cable conductors, central pogo pin, outer reference contact, mating interface and device PCB.
The project should define:
Protocol compatibility should only be published after the complete connector, cable and device channel has been validated.
Not necessarily. One Pin normally describes the central pogo pin. The outer concentric ring may provide another conductive path, but this must be confirmed from the wiring drawing.
Yes, when the center contact, reference path, protocol and complete cable channel are designed and validated for the required signal.
Only with a project-specific circuit or communication architecture. Simultaneous power and data should not be assumed from the visible connector structure alone.
Yes. Cable length, conductor construction, jacket, strain relief and USB, terminal, bare-wire or custom opposite ends can be evaluated.
No. Environmental protection depends on the connector housing, cable entry, device-side installation and complete tested assembly.

CTP can review the center and outer-contact allocation, signal path, cable construction, round housing, magnetic structure and mating interface before prototype development. Final specifications should be confirmed in the approved drawing and validation plan.
A reference product image is not enough to define a cable assembly. Confirm the following information before drawing, sampling or quotation review.
The exact project route depends on whether an existing product can be used, modified or requires a new cable assembly design.
Confirm product scope, Pin Map, cable length, termination, quantity and application conditions.
Match magnetic contacts to conductors, source-side wiring and device-side functions.
Confirm dimensions, outlet direction, cable construction and required sample configuration.
Review electrical, mechanical and environmental conditions before production approval.
Submit the magnetic-end structure, electrical functions, cable length, conductor requirements, opposite-end interface, installation space and available drawings for project review.
Review related cable assemblies by contact count, shape, termination and project supply scope.
