Working Principle of Magnetic Connector

Magnetic connector achieves efficient, safe, reliable connection solutions through magnetic attraction, self-alignment, conductive contact transmission, IP67 sealing protection, and quick disassembly, favored by engineers with high environmental adaptability requirements.

Mechanism of magnetic attraction:

• Magnetic connectors use the magnetic force generated by strong magnets to achieve quick connection and disconnection. When two connectors are close, an attractive force is generated between the magnets, aligning the plug and socket and firmly engaging them. This attraction is very stable, can resist slight vibrations and external forces, and is not easily detached.

Self-alignment:

• Magnetic connectors have self-alignment. The suction force of the magnet will guide the two connection ports to align naturally, and even if the user deviates slightly during connection, they can be attracted to the accurate position by the magnetic force. This greatly simplifies the operation for blind insertion or environments with limited space.

Transmission of conductive contacts:

• Once magnetic attraction part is connected, the metal conductive contacts inside the connector begin to make contact and transmit current or signals. These contacts are made of brass beryllium copper, ensure stable signal transfer, reduce resistance and energy loss. This is key to connector efficient operation.

Waterproof and dustproof design:

• To achieve IP67 waterproof, magnetic connector is equipped with sealing rings or protective materials to prevent water and dust from entering the interior. Maintain stable connection and transfer in damp, rainy, or dusty environments. Suitable for outdoor equipment or industrials.

Quick disassembly and safety protection:

• Magnetic connector is very easy to disassemble, gently pulled apart to disconnect, won’t cause damage to wires or equipment. When subjected to excessive tension, the magnetic connector will automatically separate, protecting the equipment and connector from short circuits or physical damage.

Core Advantages of IP67 Waterproof Magnetic Connector

iP67 waterproof magnetic connector can prevent water and dust, provide fast connection, self-protection, stable signal, and high durability. It is suitable for industrial, medical, and outdoor equipment, provides engineers with an efficient, safe, and reliable connection solution.

Super waterproof in harsh:

• The IP67 rating indicates it can remain unaffected underwater 1 meter. Because its sealing structure is very tight, it can effectively block moisture, dust, and dampness from entering connector interior. It is suitable for outdoor equipment, marine instruments, humid environments, industrial production lines, and outdoor lighting equipment.

Quick connection, easy operation:

• Magnetic connector doesn’t require forceful insertion and extraction. As long as the two ports are close, the magnetic attraction will automatically attach them together, achieving quick docking. Save time, greatly simplify operation, easily connect in the dark or on device back, suitable for frequent connection.

Self-protection to prevent accidental damage:

• When the connector is pulled by external force, the magnetic connector will automatically disconnect, protecting the device from damage. If someone accidentally pulls the wire, the ordinary connector may be damaged, but the magnetic design will easily separate, avoiding wire breakage or equipment short circuit. This self-protection is very practical in industrial and medical equipment.

Stable conductivity, reliable signals:

• The metal contacts inside the connector are made of highly conductive materials, ensuring stable and fast transfer of current and signals with almost no delay or loss. Magnetic design can keep the contacts perfectly aligned without loosening caused by vibration. It is crucial for medical devices and communication equipment.

High strength material, durable, long lifespan:

• The housing of IP67 magnetic connectors is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant engineering plastics, aluminum alloys, or stainless steel. Can resist the effects of extreme temperature, moisture, oil pollution, extend its service life. The magnetic structure itself can reduce mechanical wear and is more durable than traditional plug-in connectors.

Material and structural design of IP67 waterproof magnetic connector

• The reason why IP67 waterproof magnetic connectors are favored by European and American engineers is largely due to their high level of material selection and structural design, which allows them to perform well in various complex environments.

High strength housing, resistant to impact and corrosion

The IP67 connector housing often uses PA66, aluminum alloy, or stainless steel. These materials are very sturdy, able to resist external impact, and not easily shattered. Metal housing can prevent rust and is suitable for damp or salt spray seaside or industrial plants. Engineering plastics are lighter and prevent insulation short circuits.

Sealing ring design ensures IP67 waterproofing:

• At connector junction, Johoty often design silicone sealing rings or rubber gaskets, which have excellent flexibility and sealing, effectively prevent water, dust, and oil from entering IP67 connector interior. IP67 connector can maintain stable performance even in humid or underwater, without water leakage or short circuits.

Magnetic module, precise docking structure:

• The magnetic attraction module uses high-strength NdFeB magnets, which have strong magnetic attraction and aren’t easily demagnetized. The magnet design is located inside the IP67 connector, allowing the plug and socket to naturally adhere and align accurately. Even in vibration or misalignment, it can automatically adjust to ensure stable connection.

Conductive contacts, durable and highly conductive:

• The internal conductive contacts are made of gold-plated copper alloy or stainless steel. Gold plated contacts can increase conductivity, prevent oxidation and corrosion, and long-term use does not affect signal and current transfer. The contract spring makes the connection more secure, while reducing wear and extending its lifespan.

Anti pull off structure enhances stability:

• In IP67 connector designs, Johoty often adds special stress relief slots or cable protection sleeves to disperse external pulling pressure and prevent cables from being pulled apart. This design, combined with magnetic disconnection, can protect equipment from damage under external forces.
