If you love power adapters or toys & gadgets that have magnetic connections, you can now experiment with these futuristic connectors easily. This is a DIY "MagSafe-styled" USB cable, with four 0.1" spaced contact pogo pins that feed to a standard USB-A connector on the other side. Each pogo connects to power, ground, D+ and D-. 

Connect with another other 4-pin half and the embedded magnets attract, making a firm connection and assuring that all the pogos make contact. If you try to connect the contacts backward, they will repel! If you've ever owned a MacBook or a littleBits set, you'll find the functionality familiar.

Perfect for USB power/data connections on any microcontroller or maybe a keyboard?

Note: This cable comes with a magnetic connector on the end and the separate matching magnetic connector for it. The cable matches up with this four contact pin DIY magnetic connector set so you'll also need to pick up one of those kits.
