USB-C to 16-Pin Magnetic Pogo Pin Cable for USB 10Gbps Data and Charging

Custom USB-C to 16-Pin Magnetic Pogo Pin Cable

The Goochain USB Type-C to 16-pin magnetic Pogo Pin cable is designed for equipment that needs high-speed data, power and repeated docking through one compact interface. Under the approved system configuration, the cable can be developed and tested for USB 10Gbps performance while supporting charging, magnetic alignment and blind-mating operation.

The product is intended for custom OEM and ODM integration. Pin assignment, cable length, shielding, grounding, housing, magnetic force, working stroke and mechanical interface are confirmed according to the customer's device rather than treated as universal specifications.

This product belongs to Goochain's high-speed Pogo Pin connector solutions for professional docking and device connectivity.

Typical Specifications

Internal note: Do not add a fixed voltage, current, wattage, mating-cycle value, contact resistance or IP rating unless it is confirmed by the drawing and test report for this exact product.

USB 10Gbps Performance Through a Pogo Pin Interface

High-speed USB performance depends on the entire transmission channel. In this cable, the signal travels from the USB Type-C connector through the round cable and the spring-loaded contact interface before reaching the device-side PCB or mating contact.

To develop a reliable channel, Goochain reviews differential pair routing, impedance transitions, shielding, grounding, pin assignment, contact stability, cable length and the device-side structure. The sample is then validated using the agreed configuration.

The wording “up to 10Gbps” applies to the tested configuration. Changing the cable length, Pogo Pin arrangement, PCB, connector housing, host or device may require revalidation. Read how Pogo Pins can support USB 10Gbps and review the related signal integrity design considerations.

Charging, Data and Docking in One Connection

The 16-pin interface allows the project team to assign contacts for power, USB data, ground and project-specific auxiliary signals. The final pinout is developed around the device architecture.

Magnetic alignment helps guide the mating parts into position, while the spring-loaded contacts accommodate the designed working stroke. A blind-mating structure can make daily docking faster and reduce the need for precise manual connector alignment. For equipment connected many times per day, this can improve usability and reduce repeated handling of the device's primary USB receptacle.
