2-pin Magnetic Connectors
The 2-pin magnetic connectors by GT Contact offer a robust and versatile solution for applications requiring a compact, quick-disconnect power connector. Designed to minimise damage to cables and devices, the magnetic breakaway function ensures safe, rapid separation under tension while maintaining reliable performance in demanding conditions. With a rugged construction, these connectors are well-suited for environments where accidental cable strain or misalignment could cause costly downtime.
Engineered for extra-low voltage applications such as battery charging, the GT Contact 2-pin magnetic connector range supports a rated current of 5A at 30V AC/DC. A standout feature is the ability to rotate a full 360 degrees without losing electrical connection, providing excellent flexibility for wearable, portable, and dynamic equipment.
Available in panel-mount configurations with a short 4 mm flange depth, these connectors offer solder or pre-wired terminations and are complemented by straight or 90-degree cable connectors. Cable assemblies can be customised to virtually any length with blunt cut, USB plug, or other terminations of your choice.
The cable-mount connector is designed to fit cut-outs of 20.75 mm round or 19.2 mm x 20.75 mm D-cut, preventing unwanted rotation and ensuring stability. An optional rubber cap provides additional environmental protection. Panel-mount units are rear potted to maintain an IP67 seal against dust and water. While the panel-mount and cable connectors are individually IP67 rated, the magnetic connection itself is not waterproof due to its open design. These durable, 360-degree rotation connectors deliver dependable performance and ease of use in compact, low-voltage systems.

FAQs
Magnetic connectors are a style of connector that are held in place by magnets rather than conventional locking mechanisms such as screw or bayonet. Due to this design they are very easy to connect and disconnect which is ideal for areas where cables could be damaged by accidental pulling. However, the terminations are less environmentally sealed due to the force of the magnets used.
Magnetic connectors work in the same way as a standard connector, by connecting the positive and negative pins are which creates a circuit. The difference with magnetic connectors is through their use of positive and negative magnets within the connector housing. This attraction of the opposing magnetic force pulls the two connector ends together creating the connection of the pins inside.
