Product Description
The Pogo Pin Magnetic Connector Male 4-Pin is a spring-loaded, magnetic interconnect component designed to serve as the plug side of a 4-pin magnetic connection system . As the male half of the connector pair, this component features protruding spring-loaded pogo pins that compress upon mating with a corresponding female receptacle, ensuring consistent contact force and reliable electrical continuity . The connector integrates high-strength neodymium magnets-typically rated N52-which provide strong magnetic attraction to hold the connector halves securely together while allowing easy detachment when pulled, automatically self-aligning and correcting for minor misalignments . The 4-pin configuration allows for flexible contact assignments, supporting combinations of power delivery and signal transmission in a single compact interface, making it ideal for applications such as charging, data transfer, and device docking. Representative products include the EDAC 685A04222A01E1E and the RTLECS MG0425 series, which are widely used in consumer electronics, medical devices, and industrial equipment .
The mechanical architecture of the 4-pin male magnetic pogo connector centers on its precision-engineered spring-loaded contact system and integrated magnet arrangement. The male connector's pogo pins consist of a brass plunger and barrel with a stainless steel internal spring, designed to compress upon mating and maintain consistent contact force even under vibration or thermal cycling . The protruding pins are engineered to engage with the female receptacle's flat contact surfaces, with a typical contact force of 40g ± 10g at 0.50mm stroke . The connector housing is molded from high-temperature engineering plastics such as brass alloy combined with high-temperature plastic, providing excellent mechanical strength, electrical insulation, and UL94 V-0 flame retardancy . The magnetic attraction force is typically provided by N52 neodymium magnets, with some models offering customizable suction force from 150g to 800g depending on the specific design requirements. The male connector is available in multiple mounting configurations, including Through Hole for standard PCB mounting , and wire harness/cable assembly versions for flexible integration into cable designs . The contact pitch spacing varies by manufacturer, with common configurations including 2.50mm to 2.54mm single row and 3.64mm dual row options .
The 4-pin male magnetic pogo connector delivers robust electrical performance suitable for both power delivery and signal transmission applications across diverse industries. Key electrical characteristics include a current rating of 1.0A to 3.0A per contact, with 2.0A being the most common specification, and a voltage rating of 12V DC (with some high-power models supporting up to 36V DC) . Contact resistance is typically specified at 50 milliohms maximum, ensuring minimal power loss and reliable signal integrity . Mechanical durability is rated for a minimum of 10,000 mating cycles, making these components ideal for applications requiring frequent connection and disconnection . The operating temperature range generally spans from -20°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor environments. The contacts are fabricated from brass (C3604) with gold plating over a nickel underplating-the gold layer thickness typically ranges from 0.075μm to 0.75μm (3µin to 30µin), depending on the manufacturer and model . This gold-over-nickel plating scheme provides low contact resistance, excellent corrosion protection (with salt spray testing up to 48 hours), and high durability . The stainless steel springs within the pogo pins maintain consistent contact force over the product's operational lifetime, compensating for tolerance stack-ups and ensuring reliable connectivity in dynamic environments.
The 4-pin male magnetic pogo connector is widely deployed across multiple industries requiring quick, reliable, and user-friendly electrical connections with frequent mating cycles. Primary application areas include wearable electronics such as smartwatches and fitness trackers, where magnetic charging provides effortless one-handed connection ; consumer electronics including smartphones, tablets, and laptops, where tear-away functionality prevents damage from accidental cable pulls; medical equipment and diagnostic devices, where reliable contact quality is critical for patient safety; industrial test fixtures and programming jigs, where frequent connection cycles demand high mechanical durability; automotive electronics for charging docks and diagnostic interfaces; LED lighting systems and smart home products requiring modular, detachable power connections . Major manufacturers of 4-pin male magnetic pogo connectors include EDAC Inc. (model 685A04222A01E1E, featuring through-hole mounting and dual-row 3.64mm pitch) , RTLECS (MG0425 series, featuring 2.50mm pitch and through-hole PCB solder) , Promax Pogo Pin (X6706-04PA for cable assembly applications) , and Shenzhen QH Industrial Co., Ltd (customizable male connector solutions) . The male connector is typically sold individually or as a matched pair with the female receptacle for complete system integration. In summary, the 4-pin male magnetic pogo connector offers a robust, user-friendly interconnect solution that combines magnetic self-alignment, spring-loaded contact reliability, durable gold-plated construction, and versatile mounting options, making it an ideal choice for engineers designing modern electronic devices where ease of use, connection reliability, and frequent mating cycles are paramount.
