Heat resistant magnetic electrical connector

A method for manufacturing a heat resistant magnetic electrical connector, the method comprising:

• providing a body formed from an electrically insulating material which is tolerant of temperatures associated with wave- or reflow-soldering the heat resistant magnetic electrical connector to a printed circuit board, the body comprising:
• first and second plugs extending from a face of the body, the first plug being located toward a first end of the face and having a first width, the second plug being located toward a second, opposite end of the face and having a second, different width;
• a receiving area on a back side of the body;
• retainers;
• and
• first and second openings positioned between the first and second plugs and extending from the face through the body to the receiving area;
• inserting first and second electrical conductors into the body, the first and second electrical conductors extending through the body, the electrical conductors forming exposed first and second electrical contacts, respectively, forward of the face and forming first and second connector pins, respectively, at respective first and second predetermined locations not on the face or forward of the face, and wherein the first and second connector pins are configured for being wave- or reflow-soldered to conductors on the printed circuit board;
• and
• providing a magnet assembly having a first end and a second end, the first end having first and second extensions, the magnet assembly being for insertion into the receiving area after the first and second electrical conductors have been wave- or reflow-soldered to the printed circuit board, wherein the first and second extensions extend into the first and second openings, and wherein the retainers hold the magnet assembly at least partially within the receiving area once the magnet assembly is inserted therein.
