Magnetic Mating Interface
Confirm Pin count, contact allocation, magnet arrangement, connector shape, polarity control and mating direction.
This custom dual-row 8-contact magnetic pogo pin data cable assembly uses a compact 2×4 contact arrangement with a matching device-side contact plate for project-specific power, data, control, detection or identification functions. The Pin Map, cable length, conductor gauge, signal allocation, 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 dual-row magnetic pogo pin data cable assembly uses a 2×4 contact layout, providing eight project-defined electrical paths in a compact interface. The cable-side connector and matching device-side contact plate should be reviewed together with the Pin Map, cable construction, magnetic retention and installation structure.
The dual-row layout increases contact density without extending the connector excessively in one direction. The eight contacts can be allocated to power, ground, differential data pairs, control, detection, identification or other application-specific functions.
The pogo pins provide the required electrical contact pressure, while the two side magnets assist capture and retention. Final alignment, working compression and mechanical stopping should be controlled by the connector housing and device-side structure.
| Assembly Element | Engineering Function |
|---|---|
| 2×4 contact layout | Provides eight electrical paths in a compact dual-row arrangement |
| Spring-loaded pogo pins | Provide controlled electrical contact pressure |
| Matching contact plate | Provides the device-side mating targets |
| Dual side magnets | Assist connector capture, alignment and retention |
| Cable conductors | Carry the approved power, data and control functions |
| Housing and strain relief | Control positioning and reduce cable-exit loads |
Eight contacts provide flexible electrical allocation, but the final function must be defined from the approved schematic. A typical project may use dedicated contacts for power and return, one or more signal pairs, and additional detection or control lines.
| Contact Group | Required Definition |
|---|---|
| Power and return | Voltage, continuous current, polarity and temperature rise |
| Data contacts | Protocol, data rate, reference path and shielding |
| Control or detection | Logic level, mating state and connection sequence |
Engineering Note: A dual-row 2×4 structure contains eight electrical contacts in total. It should not be described as a four-contact connector unless the project drawing defines only four active circuits.

Yes, when the Pin Map, conductor structure, protocol and complete electrical path are designed and validated for the required functions.
No. The contact layout does not automatically confirm USB, UART, CAN or another protocol.
Yes. Contact spacing, mounting dimensions, outlet direction, housing and device-side installation can be customized.

CTP can review the dual-row contact allocation, cable construction, magnetic structure and device-side 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.
