Mill-Max Adds .100” Pitch Options to Its Maxnetic® Connector Lineup

New space saving single and double row connector sets featuring magnetic retention for making quick, secure connections.

Introduction To Magnetic Spring-Loaded Connectors

Mill-Max presents the new .100” (2.54 mm) pitch magnetic spring-loaded connectors. This expansion of the Maxnetic® product line delivers next-generation high reliability magnetic connectors designed for use in ever shrinking electronic devices and their applications.

Mill-Max Magnetic Connectors Address Critical Market Needs

Like all Mill-Max connectors, this addition to the Maxnetic® connector lineup is engineered for demanding applications across medical, industrial, military, and automated manufacturing sectors. With .100” (2,54 mm) pin-to-pin spacing and a low-profile stack height of just .430" (10.9 mm), these connectors combine magnetic mating, gold plated terminal pins, and robust mechanical and electrical performance to enable fast, reliable, stress-free connections in critical environments while minimizing space requirements.

Maxnetic® connectors incorporate spring-loaded and mating target pins to establish the electrical connection while the magnets pull and hold the connectors together; no aligning or plugging is required to mate the connectors. All connectors in the series are designed with polarized neodymium magnets and orientation features on the connector bodies to ensure self-alignment, and zero force mating. The maximum separation force for the mated connectors is 1.6 pounds (726 grams) for 2 positions while the minimum separation force for the 10 position connectors is .57 pounds (259 grams).

Magnetic connectors are utilized across a broad range of applications and industries where quick connections and disconnects are vital, such as:

• Medical cables, monitors and wearable diagnostic devices for secure but easily detachable connections, ensuring quick replacement or removal for cleaning or maintenance.
• Industrial robotics and automation equipment, enabling quick and easy linking of modules for assembly, disassembly and data collection.
• Charging docks and stations for commercial, industrial and military use.

Maxnetic® connectors are ideal for use in any setting where repeated mating and un-mating of cables and devices must be done effortlessly, especially in constrained or blind-mating applications. The magnetic force provides reliable retention without the need for external hardware and allows for emergency breakaway without damage to the connector or the equipment.
