About Magna-Plug
Magna-Plug is a magnetic connector which has been designed primarily to reduce cable and probe breakage in manufacturing processes. It translates into cost savings and reduced production interruptions for the customer .
The Magna-Plug has two connectors: a male connector and a female connector. It also has a female connector variant for panel mounting. The body of the connectors is made of food grade Teflon, which meets FDA specifications. It is also equipped with a stainless-steel ring to give it more stiffness. Right now, this magnetic connector comes with 6 pins which can accommodate up to 18 caliber conductors.
Located outside this magnetic connector, are cable glands that can accommodate different cable diameters. The Magna Plug is completely waterproof and submersible; meetings IP67 specifications.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
- Once stress or pulling is applied to the cable, the Magna-Plug will disconnect without causing damage to the cable or equipment.
- Reconnection is simple, rapid and fool proof. As the Magna-Plugs get close to each other, the magnets will automatically align and make the connection instantly on the same pins every time. It is impossible to reverse polarity of the connections.
