Magnetic Mating Interface
Confirm Pin count, contact allocation, magnet arrangement, connector shape, polarity control and mating direction.
This custom 4-pin double-ended magnetic pogo pin cable assembly connects two matched magnetic interfaces through one integrated power and data cable. One molded connector end uses four spring-loaded pogo contacts, while the opposite end provides the corresponding magnetic mating interface. The four-contact Pin Map, end-to-end wiring, cable length, conductor gauge, magnetic retention, connector housings and device integration can be customized according to the approved 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 4-pin double-ended magnetic pogo pin cable connects two matched magnetic interfaces through one integrated cable assembly. Four electrical paths can be allocated to power, ground, data, detection or control functions according to the approved Pin Map. End-to-end wiring, cable construction, magnetic retention, connector orientation and device integration should be confirmed together in the project drawing.
This product is a double-ended magnetic interconnect cable rather than a USB-to-magnetic charging cable. The product image shows one magnetic connector end with four spring-loaded pogo contacts and a corresponding magnetic mating head at the opposite end.
The pogo pins generate electrical contact pressure, while the magnetic structures assist capture and retention. The housings should control orientation, alignment, working compression and mechanical stopping.
| Assembly Element | Engineering Function |
|---|---|
| Four-contact pogo pin end | Provides four spring-loaded electrical contact paths |
| Opposite magnetic mating end | Provides the corresponding project-specific mating interface |
| Magnetic structures | Assist capture and retention at the two connection points |
| Molded connector housings | Control orientation, alignment and final seating |
| Cable conductors | Carry the approved power, ground and signal functions between both ends |
| Cable strain relief | Reduces conductor loading at the molded cable exits |
The four contacts do not have one universal electrical definition. Each contact must be mapped from the first connector end to the corresponding contact at the opposite end.
| Example Architecture | Possible Contact Allocation |
|---|---|
| Power and data | Power, ground and two validated signal contacts |
| Charging with detection | Power, ground, detection and identification |
| Parallel power paths | Two positive contacts and two return contacts |
| Project-specific interface | Four customer-defined power, signal or control functions |
These are engineering examples only. The final Pin Map must follow the approved schematic and cable drawing.
Engineering Note: Both connector drawings must identify the viewing direction and Pin 1 position. A mirrored contact layout can reverse the wiring sequence when the two connector ends are viewed from different sides.
| Specification | Product Definition |
|---|---|
| Product Type | Double-ended magnetic pogo pin power and data cable assembly |
| Pin Count | 4 Pin |
| Contact Layout | Linear four-contact layout |
| Cable Architecture | Two magnetic connector ends connected by one cable |
| Interface A | Four-contact spring-loaded magnetic connector |
| Interface B | Matching magnetic mating connector according to the approved drawing |
| Pin Map | Project-specific end-to-end wiring |
| Cable Length | Customized according to device installation requirements |
| Wire Gauge | Selected according to current, cable length and voltage-drop requirements |
| Data Function | Confirmed through complete connector and cable-channel validation |
| Magnetic Retention | Specified separately for each connector end and release direction |
| Environmental Protection | Dependent on the complete connector and device sealing structures |
Electrical performance should be evaluated through the complete path from the first connector end, cable conductors and opposite magnetic interface to the receiving PCB or device.
The project should define:
Four contacts may support power and selected data functions, but Pin count alone does not establish USB, UART, I2C, CAN or another protocol. The complete cable and connected electronics must be validated for the required communication function.
Because this cable has two magnetic ends, capture, retention and release should be specified independently for both interfaces.
The two ends do not necessarily require identical magnetic force. One end may need stronger retention while the other is designed as the preferred breakaway interface.
It is a 4-pin magnetic cable assembly. The previous 3-pin product name and page information were incorrect.
Yes. The product is designed as a double-ended magnetic cable with a four-contact pogo pin interface and a corresponding magnetic mating end.
Yes, when the Pin Map, cable wiring and complete signal channel have been designed and validated for the required function.
Not necessarily. Capture, retention and release can be specified independently for each connector end.
Yes. Cable length, conductor size, jacket, housing dimensions, magnetic force and mating structures can be customized according to the project.

CTP can review the end-to-end Pin Map, cable construction, magnetic retention, connector orientation, housings and device-side mating structures 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.
