Abstract
A magnetic connector system () having a cable-end connector () and a printed circuit board connector (). The cable-end connector has a ferro-magnetic strike plate (). The printed circuit board connector has plugs or bosses (A,B) which mate with corresponding sockets in the cable-end connector and are configured to properly align or orient the connectors. The plugs may include electrical contacts (AAB) which mate with corresponding electrical contacts in the cable-end connector. The printed circuit board connector has a magnet assembly () which is inserted or installed into a receiving area, and secured by retainers, after the printed circuit board connector has been wave- or reflow-soldered to a printed circuit board. The magnet assembly and the strike plate hold the cable-end connector and the printed circuit board connector together.
