Making Magnetic Connectivity Affordable

Magnetic connectors are often associated with premium pricing, complex assemblies, and high-spec applications. Historically, that has been true, as many magnetic interconnect systems are engineered for niche, high-end markets and priced accordingly. MagConnect® changes that expectation. Designed and manufactured by Onanon, MagConnect® delivers magnetic breakaway safety and reliable electrical performance at a cost that supports both reusable devices and large-scale disposable medical applications.

Designed for Cost-Efficiency from the Start

MagConnect® was designed and engineered to solve the challenges provided by locking connectors and becoming FDA approved. Onanon has always found a way to keep MagConnect® cost comparable with other connectors in the market. MagConnect® is engineered to reduce costs at multiple levels of the device lifecycle, and has become a staple medical device connector in the industry. Available in both reusable and low-cost disposable variants, MagConnect® enables OEMs to select the configuration that best supports their commercial strategy. This flexibility allows MagConnect® to scale from early-stage prototyping through high-volume production without increasing BOM cost.

Affordability Through Simplified Assembly

Across the medical device industry, OEMs face sustained pressure to reduce total device cost while maintaining reliability and regulatory compliance. Industry data consistently shows that simplified connector design lowers manufacturing cost and total cost of ownership.

Reducing part count, limiting termination steps, and improving manufacturability directly lower two of the largest cost drivers: labor and yield loss.

MagConnect® supports this cost-reduction model through:

• Fewer parts by eliminating complex mechanical locking features

• Reduced assembly time using a self-aligning interface

• Repeatable manufacturing with higher build consistency

Scalable for Disposable and High-Volume Programs

Many medical devices are transitioning to disposable architectures, particularly in single-use surgical tools and clinical environments where contamination control is essential.

MagConnect® is designed specifically for this model.

We offer MagConnect® as a low-cost disposable solution without sacrificing magnetic safety or electrical reliability. This makes it suitable for applications where traditional magnetic connectors are often too expensive to deploy at scale.

Cost Pressure in Medical Devices Continues to Rise

Healthcare providers and OEMs are facing rising operational costs, increasing regulatory burden, and tighter reimbursement structures.

As cost pressure grows, component-level decisions like connector selection directly influence device profitability.

MagConnect® provides a practical alternative to traditionally expensive magnetic systems while preserving safety, reliability, and usability.

A Magnetic Solution Built for Real-World Budgets

Onanon developed MagConnect® with value-driven engineering at the core. With scalable manufacturing, customizable pin counts, and support for disposable and reusable architectures, MagConnect® makes magnetic breakaway technology accessible. For engineers, product developers, and procurement teams balancing performance with budget, MagConnect® is the perfect medical device connector that demonstrates that magnetic connectivity can be both affordable and dependable. Onanon has spent decaded in the medical device industry designing and manufactirng cable assemblies and connectors. With these decades of expierence we have also aquired the needed qualifications and certifications to succeed in this industry.
