02

Cable Construction

Define cable length, conductor count, wire specification, shielding requirements, jacket and flexibility.

03

Opposite-End Termination

Select USB, Type-C, DC plug, bare wire, terminal, PCB connection or another customized termination.

04

Device-Side Integration

Confirm installation space, outlet direction, strain relief, exposed-contact state and user operation.

Engineering Summary

This 6-pin magnetic charging cable combines an integrated white cable with a compact rounded-rectangular magnetic interface and a separate device-side mating adapter. Six electrical contact positions are arranged in a 3 × 2 dual-row layout.

The magnetic structure assists initial capture and retention. Final seating should be established by the approved mechanical interface, while the spring-loaded contacts provide electrical connection and controlled Z-axis compliance.

Charging Cable Architecture for Medical Equipment Projects

This cable architecture can be evaluated for medical equipment projects that require a detachable charging interface. The six contact positions can be assigned according to the approved electrical requirements of the device.

Use in medical equipment is an application definition, not a medical-grade qualification. Device-level safety, compliance, cleaning, environmental and risk requirements should be defined and validated by the applicable project team.

6-Contact 3 × 2 Dual-Row Interface

Six physical electrical contacts are arranged as three positions across two rows. The compact 3 × 2 architecture provides six independently assignable contact positions within a short rounded-rectangular mating face.

Pin count alone does not establish charging topology, power allocation, sensing functions or communication capability. Exact contact pitch, row spacing and Pin 1 orientation should follow the approved drawing.

Pin Assignment Must Be Defined by the Device Interface

The complete 6-pin map should define the function of every contact. Power, return, sensing, identification, control or other electrical functions should not be inferred from the physical contact count.

If multiple contacts are assigned in parallel for a power path, current sharing should be reviewed across the complete cable and device system rather than calculated by simply multiplying an individual contact rating.

A Magnetic Charging Cable Is More Than the Connector Head

The finished assembly includes the cable conductors, cable-side magnetic head, internal termination, mating interface, device-side adapter and opposite-end connector as one complete electrical system.

Cable conductor size, cable length, termination resistance and connector resistance can all affect voltage drop, temperature rise and final charging performance.

Complete Charging Current Path

Charging current should be evaluated across the complete conductive path:

Power Source → Opposite-End Connector → Cable Conductors → Cable-Head Termination → Spring Contact → Magnetic Mating Interface → Device-Side Contact → Device PCB → Charging Circuit → Load.

A previous 2A rating or visible contact size is not sufficient to establish an approved continuous-current capability.

For a complete path resistance Rpath, voltage drop follows Vdrop = I × Rpath and resistive power loss follows Ploss = I² × Rpath.

Voltage Rating Requires One Consistent System Definition

Voltage capability should be defined for the complete mating system. Cable-side and device-side components of the same electrical interface should not be published with conflicting voltage ratings without a documented engineering explanation.

Final voltage requirements should be reviewed together with contact spacing, insulation structure, PCB design and the approved device architecture.

Magnetic Capture, Mechanical Seating and Electrical Connection

Magnetic capture, final mechanical seating and valid electrical connection are related but different interface conditions.

  • Magnetic Capture: the magnetic structure attracts the cable head and device-side adapter.
  • Retention: the magnetic system resists separation under the defined use condition.
  • Mechanical Seating: the mating geometry establishes the final interface position.
  • Electrical Contact: the spring-loaded contacts operate at the defined compression against the corresponding pads.

Magnetic attraction alone does not establish a valid electrical connection.

Magnetic Separation and Breakaway Behavior

For equipment that may benefit from a detachable cable connection, separation behavior should be evaluated according to the actual cable-pull direction and device installation.

Axial separation force, peel force and cable-angle behavior can produce different results. A stronger magnetic interface is not automatically better; retention should be balanced against the required release behavior.

Working Stroke and Contact Compression

The spring-loaded contacts should operate within the working stroke defined by the approved connector drawing. Working stroke is the intended operating compression range and should not be confused with total available travel.

The mechanical interface should control the final seating position so the pogo contacts do not function as structural stops.

Cable Construction and Strain Relief

Cable length, conductor count, conductor size, conductor material, jacket structure and flexibility should be selected according to the charging and device requirements.

The cable exit includes a visible transition structure, but final strain-relief capability, bend requirements and cable pull performance should be defined by the approved cable assembly design.

Opposite-End Termination

The opposite-end connector is not sufficiently clear in the reference image and should not be assumed. USB-A, USB-C, DC, bare-wire or another termination should only be published when confirmed by the approved cable drawing.

The opposite-end connector forms part of the complete current path and should be reviewed together with the required charging conditions.

Medical Equipment Integration Does Not Automatically Mean Medical Grade

A white cable, magnetic breakaway interface, selected materials or general environmental documentation do not by themselves establish medical-grade qualification.

Cleaning compatibility, material restrictions, electrical safety, mechanical requirements, environmental conditions and device-specific validation should be defined by the medical equipment project.

Environmental and Reliability Requirements

Cycle life, salt-spray performance, operating temperature, ingress protection and material compliance should only be published when supported by the corresponding approved specification or validation record.

Environmental claims should identify the tested assembly and test conditions rather than being inferred from connector appearance or material color.

Application Fit

This 6-pin magnetic charging cable architecture can be evaluated for medical equipment projects requiring a detachable charging connection with a compact six-contact interface.

Final suitability depends on electrical load, cable construction, device geometry, magnetic separation behavior, environmental requirements and the validation requirements of the completed medical equipment.

Customization Options

CTP can review project-specific requirements for cable color, cable length, conductor size, six-contact pin assignment, magnetic head dimensions, device-side adapter geometry, magnetic retention, breakaway behavior, opposite-end termination and strain relief.

Final electrical, mechanical and environmental parameters should be released through an approved cable assembly drawing and validation plan.

FAQ

Is this a medical-grade magnetic charging cable?

This cable is positioned for medical equipment projects, but medical-grade qualification is not established by the product image or application name alone. Final qualification depends on the approved device requirements and supporting validation.

How are the six contacts arranged?

Six electrical contacts are arranged in a compact 3 × 2 dual-row layout within the rounded-rectangular magnetic interface.

What are the six contacts used for?

Their functions are project-defined. Power, return, sensing, identification, control or other functions should be assigned through the approved 6-pin map.

Can this cable operate at 20V and 2A?

Voltage and current capability should be confirmed from the complete cable and device system. Existing page values should not be treated as approved ratings until the electrical path and test conditions are verified.

Can the magnetic connection provide breakaway behavior?

Magnetic separation behavior can be designed for the application, but axial separation, peel force, cable pull direction and device geometry should be reviewed together.

Do the magnets provide final alignment?

The magnets assist capture and retention. Final seating and alignment should be established by the approved mechanical interface, while the spring contacts provide electrical connection and controlled axial compliance.

Does the white cable make it suitable for cleaning or disinfection?

No conclusion should be made from color alone. Cleaning-agent compatibility, jacket material and chemical resistance should be confirmed according to the device requirements.

Is this cable waterproof?

Waterproof or IP performance should only be stated for a defined and tested complete assembly. The connector shape alone does not establish an ingress-protection rating.

What information is needed to customize this 6-pin magnetic charging cable?

Provide the 6-pin map, voltage, current, cable construction, cable length, opposite-end termination, device geometry, magnetic separation requirement, environment and available drawings for engineering review.
