Prototype Magnetic Quick Connect for Bucket


Recommended Posts

This is my prototype quick connect, this is the side that connects to my amp the helmet part is not finished yet.

There are 2 Neodymium magnets in opposite polarity that are fitted into some spare styrine I had laying around and then hot glued in. There is a length of solid core copper wire (blue+/blue- from spare cat5 cable) that is wrapped once around the magnets and dabbed ever so slightly with solder on the side you can't see (does not bond with magnet, but does fill in gabs that glue could get into and cause short)

 

I'm thinking what I am going to do is get a cheap money clip style clip and create a assembly that clips onto my neck piece.

 

For the helmet part it will just be a dongle that hangs around the back of the helmet and has matching polarity to neck piece, sense only 1 side of the magnet is readily accessible to the dongle it will automatically affix correctly to the contacts.

 

Neck unit is roughly 2.2mm wide and 4.4mm wide
