Abstract
A pair of fluid couplings for liquid cooling electronic devices comprises a first fluid coupling and second fluid coupling. The first fluid coupling comprises a female coupling interface and the second fluid coupling comprises a male coupling interface to couple with the female coupling interface. Each of the fluid couplings comprises a magnetic latch assembly coupled to the coupling interface thereof. Each magnetic latch assembly comprises a shell, magnets housed within the shell, and a group of ramp-and-hook latches coupled to the shell. The magnets cause the magnetic latch assemblies to magnetically attract one another during coupling, reducing the force a user may need to apply to complete the coupling. The ramp-and-hook latches of one magnetic latch assembly are complementary to the ramp-and-hook latches of the other magnetic latch assembly, and they are arranged to engage with one another and interlock when the first and second fluid couplings are coupled.
