Pin Map and Contact Functions
Define the function of each power, return, signal, control or detection contact.
Custom 3-pin magnetic pogo pin connector with a right-angle PCB termination for compact device integration. Magnetic elements assist capture and retention, while spring-loaded contacts provide electrical contact and controlled Z-axis compliance. Electrical ratings, working stroke, magnetic requirements and final mounting dimensions are defined by the approved project drawing and validation requirements.
Product specifications should be reviewed together with the customer device, PCB, electrical assignment and mechanical mating conditions.

Review the product-specific description, technical parameters, contact arrangement, mechanical structure and project conditions below.
This 3-pin right angle magnetic pogo pin connector is intended for removable electrical interfaces where a side-directed PCB termination is preferred. Its architecture combines a single-row spring-contact interface, magnetic capture elements and a bent PCB termination within a slim elongated housing.
The magnetic elements assist capture and retention during mating. Final connector seating and positional control should be established by the approved mechanical datums, guides or stops in the completed device. The spring-loaded contacts provide electrical contact and controlled Z-axis compliance rather than serving as mechanical stops.
The connector uses a single-row contact arrangement with magnetic elements located near the ends of the mating interface. This structure is intended for compact removable connections where the final electrical functions are defined by the customer pin map.
Bent PCB tails redirect the termination toward the side of the connector rather than directly below the mating face. This architecture can support board-edge layouts or assemblies where vertical installation height and PCB routing direction must be considered during mechanical integration.
PCB footprint, contact pitch, soldering structure and mechanical anchor details should be confirmed from the approved drawing before PCB layout release.
Three functions should be evaluated separately when integrating the connector:
Magnetic capture does not by itself confirm final seating or a valid electrical connection. The complete mating architecture should be reviewed together with the connector drawing and customer enclosure.
Right-angle magnetic connector designs should be evaluated together with the PCB edge, enclosure opening, mating direction and available X/Y/Z installation space. The connector housing should be mechanically supported by the intended mounting structure rather than relying on pogo pin compression as a structural stop.
The spring-loaded contacts should operate within the working stroke defined by the approved connector drawing. Working stroke is not the same as total mechanical travel, and the design should not intentionally use the pogo pins as the final mechanical stop.
Working stroke, total travel, preload and spring force should be reviewed together with connector stack-up, enclosure tolerance and target contact position.
The three contact positions do not automatically define their electrical functions. Power, return, signal, control or detection assignments should be established through the approved pin map for the customer device.
Current capability should be evaluated across the complete conductive path:
Source → PCB or cable → termination → pogo pin → contact interface → target → load.
Contact size alone is not sufficient to establish a current rating. Conductor resistance, termination geometry, contact resistance, temperature rise and any parallel-current-sharing arrangement should be included in the electrical review.
Pin count does not define data bandwidth. Signal capability should be reviewed using the actual pin map, return-path strategy, contact geometry, PCB transition and the complete electrical channel.
Magnetic requirements should be defined according to the device mating behavior rather than selecting the strongest possible magnet configuration. Capture force, retention force, separation force and peel behavior can represent different mechanical requirements and should not be treated as the same specification.
The final magnetic arrangement should be evaluated together with mating orientation, enclosure geometry, user separation direction and any mechanical guidance features.

This connector architecture can be evaluated for compact electronic assemblies where a removable magnetic interface must connect to a PCB near an enclosure edge or where a side-directed termination better matches the internal board layout.
Whether the three contacts are used for charging, power, return, control or signal functions depends on the approved electrical assignment. Application suitability should therefore be evaluated from the complete device architecture rather than from pin count alone.
The visible connector geometry alone does not establish a waterproof or environmental protection rating. If sealing is required, the connector, enclosure interface, gasket strategy and completed assembly should be defined and validated together.
IP rating, corrosion performance, salt-spray requirements, operating temperature and plating specifications should only be published when supported by the approved design or relevant validation data.
Project-specific connector development can be reviewed around the available installation space, contact assignment, PCB termination, mating geometry, spring-contact requirements and magnetic behavior.
Final dimensions and electrical specifications should be released through an approved drawing rather than selected only from the appearance of an existing connector.
This design uses a right-angle bent PCB termination. It is intended for layouts where a side-directed termination better matches the PCB position or enclosure architecture.
No. Three contacts only define the available contact count. Their functions must be defined by the approved pin map, and any data requirement should be reviewed against the complete electrical channel.
Current capability is project-specific and should be evaluated across the complete conductive path, including PCB or cable conductors, termination, pogo pins, mating contacts and the target load.
Magnets assist capture and retention. Final positioning and seating should be controlled by the mechanical datums, guides or stops defined in the device and connector interface.
Working stroke should follow the approved connector drawing and tolerance stack-up. It must be distinguished from total available travel, and the spring contacts should not be used as mechanical stops.
No IP rating should be assumed from the connector appearance alone. Environmental protection must be defined and validated for the completed connector and enclosure assembly.
The electrical functions of the three contacts can be reviewed according to the project pin map, system voltage, current requirements and signal needs.
Provide the available installation space, pin map, voltage, continuous and peak current, working stroke, mating tolerance, magnetic requirements, environment, PCB information, drawings and expected production volume.
If this right-angle magnetic connector architecture is close to your device requirements, submit your connector project for engineering review. Include the available PCB space, contact assignment, electrical conditions, mating requirements and any available 2D or 3D drawings.

This product page presents a CTP magnetic connector configuration for engineering reference. Final dimensions, electrical ratings, materials, magnet structure, sealing level and reliability targets are not universal values; they are confirmed against the approved drawing, installation condition and model-specific validation plan.
CTP reviews the application and prepares a drawing or specification for approval before sample production. Test scope, acceptance criteria and report format should identify the model, sample status, method, conditions, result and review date.
Yes. Customization can cover geometry, contact layout, materials, cable construction, magnetic structure, sealing and appearance. Feasibility depends on the application and approved specification.
No. Current, voltage, resistance, temperature rise and ingress-protection claims apply only to the identified model and stated test conditions.
Timing is confirmed after the drawing, materials, tooling, sample quantity, validation scope and production requirements have been reviewed.
