EDAC — Magnetic Pogo Connectors

The magnetic pogo connectors from EDAC are available in two options. Both provide robust operation with 30,000 mating cycles to support reliable connection for the full lifetime of a consumer product. The tear-away magnetic design prevents mechanical damage caused by unintended disconnection.

The 685C02212021C1E connector features a circular design with a diameter of 8.3 mm and a concentric ring contact rated at up to 5 V. This contact is made from brass with a gold-over-nickel plating, and an outer diameter of 2.3 mm. The contact housing is made from PA46 black thermoplastic. The insulation resistance is specified at a minimum of 100 MΩ.

The 685E0321350120E has a black thermoplastic construction, in a 4.1 mm x 21.5 mm linear form factor with three spring-loaded contacts rated at up to 12 V each. This pin assembly is located in the central 8 mm of the connector length, with north- and south-polarized magnets on either side to ensure correct alignment.

The EDAC magnetic pogo connectors are tested for a maximum contact resistance of 60 mΩ after initial mating.
