Examples are disclosed that relate to connector systems, magnetic plug assemblies and methods for mating a magnetic plug assembly with a plurality of receptacles. In one example, a magnetic plug assembly comprises a moveable member comprising an aperture and one or more magnets. A plug tip extends through the aperture, and one or more biasing elements urge the moveable member and the one or more magnets toward a distal end of the plug tip, with the moveable member being moveable relative to the plug tip.

Examples are disclosed that relate to PCB-based connectors and connector frames for a PCB. In one example, a connector frame comprises a cavity configured to house the PCB, the cavity defined at least partially by a first sidewall, a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall, and an end wall extending between the first sidewall and the second sidewall. A support surface is adjacent to the cavity on a top side of the connector frame and extends between the first sidewall and the second sidewall. An aperture on the top side of the connector frame is formed at least partially by an edge of the support surface, with the aperture exposing a portion of the cavity through the top side.
