Description

If you love power adapters or toys & gadgets that have magnetic connections, you can now experiment with these futuristic connectors easily. It's sort of a DIY "MagSafe-styled" connector, with nine 2.2mm spaced contact pogo pins and a straight solderable connection to your PCB. If you've ever owned a MacBook or a littleBits set, you'll find the functionality familiar.

This pitch is too small for standard breadboarding, but 2.54mm magnetic connectors are available separately.

Bring the two halves together and the embedded magnets attract, making a firm connection and assuring that all the pogos make contact. If you try to connect the contacts backward, they will repel!

Use it for power, data, and maybe a magnetic STEMMA QT or USB connector? - whatever you wish! Comes with two halves that match up nicely.

  • 9 contact pins at 2.2mm pitch
  • Straight solderable connection to PCB
  • Embedded magnets ensure firm connection
  • Contacts repel if connected backward
  • Ideal for power, data, or magnetic connectors
  • Comes with two matching halves

See the Socket Diagram and Plug Diagram for technical details.
