Abstract: An electrical plug and receptacle relying on magnetic force from an electromagnet to maintain contact are disclosed. The plug and receptacle can be used as part of a power adapter for connecting an electronic device, such as a laptop computer, to a power supply. The plug includes electrical contacts, which are preferably biased toward corresponding contacts on the receptacle. The plug and receptacle each have a magnetic element. The magnetic element on one of the plug or receptacle can be a magnet or ferromagnetic material. The magnetic element on the other of the plug or receptacle is an electromagnet. When the plug and receptacle are brought into proximity, the magnetic attraction between the electromagnet magnet and its complement, whether another magnet or a ferromagnetic material, maintains the contacts in an electrically conductive relationship.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种依靠来自电磁铁的磁力来保持接触的电插头和插座。 插头和插座可用作用于将电子设备(例如膝上型计算机)连接到电源的电源适配器的一部分。 插头包括电触点,其优选地被偏压到插座上的相应触点。 插头和插座各有一个磁性元件。 插头或插座之一上的磁性元件可以是磁铁或铁磁材料。 插头或插座另一个上的磁性元件是电磁铁。 当插头和插座接近时,电磁体磁体及其互补件之间的磁吸引力,无论是另一种磁体还是铁磁性材料,都会使触点保持导电关系。
