MAGNETIC POWER CONNECTOR AND POWER SUPPLY APPARATUS USING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention provides a magnetic power connector and a power supply apparatus using the same. The magnetic power connector includes a power receiving tip (110), a power supply tip (150) and a magnet (170). The power receiving tip is connected to a power socket of an electronic apparatus and has a power terminal (111), an earth terminal (113) and a signal terminal. The earth terminal and the signal terminal are integrated with each other. The power supply tip has a power terminal (151), an earth terminal (153) and a signal terminal that are separately provided from each other and respectively come into contact with the corresponding terminals of the power receiving tip. The power supply tip transmits power output from an external power supply unit to the power receiving tip. The magnet is installed in at least one of the power supply tip and the power receiving tip to magnetically couple the power supply tip and the power receiving tip to each other.
