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 five 0.1" spaced contact pogo pins and a right angle solderable connection to your PCB. If you've ever owned a MacBook or a littleBits set, you'll find the functionality familiar.
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, maybe a magnetic STEMMA QT or USB connector? - whatever you wish! Comes with two halves that, of course, match up nicely.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
- STEMMA QT
- A small plug-in connector system for I2C boards that lets you connect compatible sensors and controllers without soldering. It matters because it can make wiring faster and less error-prone, especially when adding several small modules to a project.
