What are Maxnetic® Connectors
Maxnetic® connectors combine polarized neodymium magnets and spring-loaded contacts to create fast, reliable electrical connections. The magnets automatically align the mating halves, while the spring-loaded pins maintain consistent contact force for dependable electrical performance.
This unique combination enables zero-force engagement, blind mating capability, and exceptional durability, making Maxnetic® connectors ideal for medical, industrial, military, and other demanding applications.
Why Engineers Choose Magnetic Connectors
Maxnetic® connectors are engineered for zero-force magnetic mating, allowing users to establish a secure electrical connection without applying pressure. This stress-free engagement is particularly useful in tight spaces, wear-sensitive assemblies, or applications requiring frequent connections and disconnections.
Faster Connections Through Magnetic Self-Alignment
The connectors self-align using polarized neodymium magnets combined with mechanical body features. This ensures reliable mating even in blind or awkward orientations — minimizing user error and reducing connection time in field or production environments.
Designed for Up to One Million Mating Cycles
Built for high durability, these connectors are rated for up to one million mating cycles without degradation in electrical performance. That resilience is backed by precision-machined construction from Mill-Max to ensure mechanical integrity and consistent contact force over time.
High Performance in a Compact Footprint
Despite their robustness, Maxnetic® connectors maintain a low-profile stack height — as low as 10.9 mm — making them a compact solution for space-constrained designs. Each contact is capable of handling up to 5.2 A*, delivering strong performance for power and signal applications alike.
Multiple Configurations for Design Flexibility
Engineers can choose from multiple configurations including single- and double-row options, with both solder tail and solder cup terminations available to match a variety of assembly requirements.
