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 charging cable uses a central spring-loaded contact and a concentric magnetic interface for compact device power connections. The electrical return path, cable length and gauge, magnetic retention, connector housing, strain relief and opposite-end termination are defined according to the approved project drawing. Data transmission should only be specified when the complete contact path and communication function have been validated.
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 charging cable uses a central spring-loaded contact and a concentric magnetic mating structure for compact device power connections. The return-current path, cable construction, magnetic retention, housing, strain relief and opposite-end termination must be confirmed together in the approved project drawing. Data capability should only be stated after the complete electrical channel and communication function have been validated.
This product is a round magnetic cable assembly rather than a standalone pogo pin. The image shows one central spring-loaded contact surrounded by a circular metal and magnetic interface. The center contact, outer structure, cable conductors and device-side mating component should be treated as one complete electrical and mechanical system.
The term “1 Pin” describes the number of visible pogo pin contacts. It does not automatically define the total number of conductive paths inside the interface.
| Assembly Element | Engineering Function |
|---|---|
| Central pogo pin | Provides a spring-loaded electrical contact path |
| Concentric outer structure | Provides magnetic mating and may include a project-defined return contact |
| Round connector housing | Controls alignment, contact position and cable-side mechanical support |
| Magnetic structure | Assists connector capture and retention |
| Cable conductors | Connect the magnetic interface to the power source or customer electronics |
| Strain relief | Reduces bending and pulling loads at the cable exit |
Engineering Note: A complete power circuit requires both an outgoing and return-current path. Confirm whether the outer concentric ring is electrically conductive and how it is connected before publishing the Pin Map.
The electrical function should be defined from the internal wiring and device schematic rather than from the visible pogo pin count alone.
| Possible Architecture | Required Confirmation |
|---|---|
| Charging interface | Center contact and outer return path, polarity and power rating |
| Single-wire communication | Signal protocol, reference return, logic levels and complete-channel validation |
| Detection interface | Detection circuit, connection state and power-enable logic |
| Project-specific connection | Internal wiring, device-side contact and approved schematic |
Do not describe the product as a data cable only because it has a pogo pin. Data support depends on the electrical paths, protocol, wiring, PCB routing and connected electronics.
| Specification | Product Definition |
|---|---|
| Product Type | Round magnetic pogo pin charging cable assembly |
| Pogo Pin Count | 1 central spring-loaded contact |
| Contact Geometry | Round concentric interface |
| Electrical Return Path | Confirmed according to the internal wiring and mating-side drawing |
| Electrical Function | Charging, detection or validated project-specific function |
| Cable Length | Customized according to installation requirements |
| Wire Gauge | Selected according to current, cable length and voltage-drop requirements |
| Rated Current / Voltage | Confirmed through complete current-path and thermal validation |
| Contact Resistance | Measured using a defined contact path, working compression and test boundary |
| Magnetic Retention | Specified according to the device structure and release direction |
| Opposite-End Termination | USB, bare wire, terminal, PCB or customized termination |
| Environmental Protection | Dependent on the complete connector and device sealing structure |
Current capability should be evaluated through the complete path, including the power source, cable conductors, central pogo pin, outer return structure, mating contacts and device PCB.
The project should define:
Where data transmission is required, also define the communication protocol, signal level, reference return, required data rate and acceptance criteria.
Magnetic performance should be divided into capture, retention and release rather than represented by one isolated force value.
Stronger magnetic attraction is not automatically better. Excessive force may increase mating impact, removal force and pogo pin compression.
This round magnetic charging cable may be evaluated for:
Not necessarily. One Pin usually describes the central spring-loaded pogo pin. The outer concentric structure may provide another conductive path, but this must be confirmed from the internal wiring drawing.
Yes, when the complete interface includes both outgoing and return-current paths. Polarity and internal wiring must be defined before production.
Data transmission may be possible in a project-specific single-wire or other validated architecture. It should not be claimed without confirming the protocol, reference path and complete electrical channel.
Yes. Cable length, conductor size, insulation and USB, bare-wire, terminal or selected custom terminations can be evaluated.
No. An IP rating should only be stated when the defined connector or installed device assembly has passed the applicable test conditions.
Capture, retention and release should be specified separately according to the device structure, cable direction and intended operation.
Submit the internal wiring, cable, electrical and device-side requirements through the Get Quote & Samples page .
CTP can review the central and outer-contact allocation, round housing, pogo pin stroke, magnetic structure, cable construction and device-side 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.
