Abstract:
A magnetic alignment assembly can be incorporated into an electronic device to facilitate alignment with another device. The magnetic alignment assembly can include a main magnet (e.g., a square or rectangular magnet) having a magnetic dipole in an axial direction and a ring magnet coaxial with the main magnet. The ring magnet can be smaller than the main magnet. The ring magnet can be positioned between the main magnet and an interface surface.
