There is provided a magnetic connector assembly comprising a first connector part (70) defining a first connection surface (82) and a second connector part (30) defining a second connection surface (38), the second connector part being connectable to the first connector part, wherein when the first connector part (70) and the second connector part (30) are connected they define a connection region over which the first connection surface (82) overlaps the second connection surface (38), such that an electrical signal may be transmitted between at least part of the first connection surface and at least part of the second connection surface in the connection region and at least one of the first connector part (70) and the second connector part (30) comprises a magnet and at least the other of the first connector part and the second connector part comprises magnetisable material (74), such that when the first connector part and the second connector part are connected, the first and second connection surfaces (82, 38) are attracted to each other by a magnetic force and wherein the first and second connector parts (70, 30) are arranged such that the magnetic force between the first and second connection surfaces (82, 38) is substantially weaker in a first part of the connection region than in a second part of the connection region.
