Abstract
A power and data connector includes an extension that protrudes from a planar lip surface. The extension is configured to cooperate with one or more magnetic attractors of an electronic device to hold the power and data connector to the electronic device via magnetic force. A planar connection surface at a terminal end of the extension separately surrounds openings, through which power interfaces extend.
