A magnetic connector system comprising:
a first connector (390) comprising:
a first plurality of electrical contacts, the first plurality of electrical contacts to mate with a second plurality of electrical contacts (376) in a second connector (360) when the first connector couples to the second connector, wherein when the first connector couples to the second connector, the first and second pluralities of electrical contacts define a corresponding plurality of electrical paths, wherein the plurality of electrical paths comprises at least one electrical power path and at least one signal path (376) to convey at least one signal; and
an attraction plate made of ferromagnetic material (392), the attraction plate made of ferromagnetic material to mate with a plurality of magnets (380,382) in the second connector that are proximally located and arranged in opposing polarities with respect to each other, so that when the first connector is brought in close proximity to the second connector, magnetic field lines travel through the attraction plate made of ferromagnetic material of the first connector from one of the plurality of magnets in the second connector to another one of the plurality of magnets in the second connector. |
