DIY Magnetic Connector – Straight 8 Contact Pins – 2.2mm Pitch

If you love power adapters or toys & gadgets that have magnetic connections, you can now experiment with these futuristic connectors easily. It’s sorta like a DIY ‘MagSafe-styled’ connector, with eight 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 we carry 2.54mm magnetic connectors in the store. 

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 backwards, 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, of course, match up nicely.
