Magnetic Mating Interface
Confirm Pin count, contact allocation, magnet arrangement, connector shape, polarity control and mating direction.
This custom 16-pin circular magnetic pogo pin data cable assembly includes a cable-side magnetic connector and a matching device-side receptacle for project-specific power, data, control, detection or identification functions. The Pin Map, cable length, conductor gauge, power-contact allocation, signal pairs, magnetic retention, connector housing, strain relief and installation structure can be customized according to the approved schematic and mechanical 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 16-pin circular magnetic pogo pin data cable assembly combines a multi-contact cable-side connector with a matching device-side receptacle. The Pin Map, current paths, signal allocation, cable construction, magnetic retention and installation structure must be reviewed as one complete electromechanical system.
The circular interface provides sixteen project-defined electrical contacts. These contacts can be allocated to power, ground, differential data pairs, control, detection, identification or other device-specific functions.
The visible 16-pin structure does not automatically define a communication protocol or current rating. USB, UART, CAN, Ethernet or another interface should only be published after the complete cable and device channel has been validated.
| Assembly Element | Engineering Function |
|---|---|
| Sixteen-contact interface | Provides multiple project-defined power and signal paths |
| Spring-loaded pogo contacts | Provide controlled electrical contact pressure |
| Matching receptacle | Provides the device-side mating targets and installation interface |
| Magnetic structure | Assists connector capture and retention |
| Cable conductors | Carry the approved power, data and control functions |
| Housing and strain relief | Control alignment and reduce cable-exit loads |
A 16-pin interface allows several electrical functions to be combined in one compact connector. A typical project may use dedicated contacts for power and return, differential data pairs, control lines and connection detection.
| Contact Group | Required Definition |
|---|---|
| Power contacts | Voltage, continuous current, peak current, duty cycle and temperature rise |
| Return contacts | Current-sharing arrangement and complete return path |
| Data pairs | Protocol, data rate, reference path and shielding requirements |
| Control or detection | Logic level, connection sequence and valid mating state |
Engineering Note: Parallel contacts do not automatically share current equally. Any high-current rating must be validated across the complete path, including the cable, termination, pogo contacts, matching receptacle, PCB and load.

Yes, when the contact groups, conductor sizes, communication requirements and complete electrical path are defined and validated for the application.
No. The final function depends on the approved Pin Map. Some contacts may be used for power, return, control, detection or identification.
A 12A rating should only be published after the complete cable, contacts, receptacle, PCB and device load have passed voltage-drop and temperature-rise testing.
Yes. The receptacle dimensions, mounting method, contact layout, cable exit and housing structure can be customized for the device.
Submit your Pin Map, current requirements, signal requirements, cable dimensions and device-side drawing through the Get Quote & Samples page.
CTP can review the sixteen-contact allocation, current paths, signal pairs, cable construction, magnetic interface and device integration before prototype development.
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.
