Operating principle
The Magna-Plug is equipped with internal 10
lbs magnets.
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.
Operating Principle
All of the above can be seen in the following video. In
this case with a temperature probe inserted in meat in a
cooking oven
