Rosenberger has developed a product family which offers an intelligent alternative to mechanical connecting. These magnetic connectors support all standard functions, including a high number of mating cycles and vibration resistance. They are also suitable for power and signal transmission. Furthermore, they come complete with the benefit of automatic magnetic connection and are easy to clean. They can thus be relied upon for correct connection even in locations that are difficult to access. A major advantage is the break-away function, which prevents damage caused by unintentional disconnection.
Features include: Current up to 40A; Flexible voltage range; Mating cycles >10,000; Reliable contact pressure and zero-force mating; Shock and vibration proof; Waterproof & UV resistant; and Available in various design versions.
Possible applications for the magnetic connectors include charging and synchronizing smartphones, tablets, and cameras as well as connecting printers and hard drives. Other applications include medical devices, electric wheelchairs, hospital infotainment systems, and consumer products such as kitchen appliances, data glasses, and even automation technology.
Magnetic connectors offer conventional features such as a high number of mating cycles, vibration-proof and combined current, data, LAN & RF connections, but also the advantages of a self-mating magnetic function, prevention of misconnections, easy cleaning and therefore guaranteeing a correct connection in the most inaccessible locations. An important benefit is the tear-away function, which prevents damage to the application by unintended disconnection.
