I think magnetic connections are fine for 5V power with no data line, but as soon as you add more connections and try increasing voltage/power you are asking for trouble.
- JohnFen 3y agoMy deep fryer has a magnetic connection for the power cord. That's high voltage and wattage, and works just fine.
- ThePowerOfFuet 3y agoBecause the only two pins are hot and neutral, which are designed to have high voltage across them. Put 20 V Vbus on a CC line and see what happens.
- JohnFen 3y agoThat seems more likely to be because that design was bad rather than that the concept is bad.
