Patent application for Magna-Plug approved by the United States Patent and Trademark Office


The Magna-Plug is a magnetic connector designed to eliminate damages of cables and probes during the manufacturing process.

The use of Magna-Plug reduces significantly production downtime and production loss caused by damaged cables.

Although a similar product existed, Exceltec proposed an improved, more performant version which is now patented.

PRINCIPLE

When 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 automatically align and connect instantly on the same pins every time.

It is impossible to reverse the polarity of the connections.

IMPROVEMENTS

  • Totally foolproof
  • Extended & adjusted Pin & Socket sections
  • Increased the magnet strength
  • Improved sealing, meeting IP67 standards
  • Withstands higher temperatures
  • Unique universal cable gland
  • 32mm on the Panel Mount Connector
  • Waterproof cap (pressured & magnetic connection – caps are sold separately)
  • Stainless Steel lanyard for cap retention
