prEN IEC 63758-5-3:2026 is a CLC/IEC fast-track draft part of the Qi Specification for MPP magnetics design. It defines the system model and requirements for the magnetics used in both Power Transmitter (PTx) and Power Receiver (PRx) products that implement the Magnetic Protocol and the magnetic attach alignment method.
What does prEN IEC 63758-5-3:2026 specify?
prEN IEC 63758-5-3:2026 specifies the magnetics design model for Qi MPP implementations. It sets the reference PTx and PRx coil system models, the mated-condition electrical behavior, and the magnetic boundaries used to judge interoperability.
The document is organized into these main clauses:
- Clause 1 - General: structure of the Qi Specification, scope, compliance language, references, and notation rules.
- Clause 2 - Coil Design: background and how the coil system models are used.
- Clause 3 - PTx Coil System Model: mechanical construction, magnet arrangement, and electrical properties.
- Clause 4 - PRx Coil System Model: mechanical construction, shielding, nearby metal representation, and electrical properties.
- Clause 5 - Properties of Mated Coil System Models: electrical measurement under mated conditions.
- Clause 6 - Coil Specifications: magnetic boundaries and implementation requirements for PRx and PTx.
Clause 1 also explains the document conventions used for numbers, tolerances, data fields, text strings, and shorthand packet notation. That matters in practice because implementers need to read the same values and packet references in the same way during design, verification, and test.
What are the key requirements of prEN IEC 63758-5-3:2026?
Mechanical reference models
prEN IEC 63758-5-3:2026 defines detailed reference constructions for both the PTx and PRx coil system models in Clauses 3 and 4. The PTx model includes a plastic top enclosure, a coil module with ferrite and permanent magnets, and an aluminium bottom enclosure; the PRx model includes a glass bottom enclosure, an aluminium support plate, a coil module with copper and magnetic shielding, and a friendly-metal block.
These models matter because they are the geometric and material baseline for compliance tools and interoperability testing. The document says implementations should follow the coil system models as closely as possible so that practical products stay close to the compliance test tools.
The PTx coil module also includes a cut-out to route coil leads, and the PRx coil module includes a cut-out in the shielding for access to the coil terminals. In practice, those details affect how a real product is packaged and wired without changing the intended magnetic behavior.
Alignment, attraction, and saturation control
prEN IEC 63758-5-3:2026 requires the PTx and PRx coils to align within a 2 mm radius in the magnetic attach sense, as stated in Clauses 6.2.1 and 6.3.1. The PTx is also required to attract the PRx toward the center position and provide enough force both normal to the interface surface and in the plane of the interface surface, per Clause 3.1.8.
This matters because alignment strongly affects charging stability, transfer efficiency, and user experience. If the magnets do not center the receiver well enough, the link can sit near the edge of the valid operating region.
Clause 3.2.2 and Clause 6.3.2 address a second practical risk: the PTx magnets must not saturate the PRx shielding. The document uses a saturation check based on the normalized change of inductance of the TPR#MPP3 test receiver at centered and offset/spaced positions. That is important because shielding saturation can reduce or disturb power transfer.
Free-air and mated electrical behavior
prEN IEC 63758-5-3:2026 gives free-air electrical parameters for the PTx and PRx coil system models in Clauses 3.2.1 and 4.2.1, and it gives mated-condition behavior in Clause 5.1. The mated cases cover a direct-contact condition and a 2 mm air-gap condition, both with the coils aligned.
In practice, these tables let designers and test labs compare real hardware against the reference behavior at the same frequency and position. They also show how the coil pair changes when an accessory or case introduces spacing.
The document uses these mated cases as a guideline for compliant MPP PTx and PRx implementations. The reader is expected to verify coil parameters under both the nominal and the spaced condition, not only in free air.
Magnetic boundaries for interoperability
Clause 6 introduces the MPP magnetic boundary (MPPMB), which is used to increase confidence in certified-device interoperability. The boundary is defined for two frequencies and for two positions, and it is built from parameter sets with different levels of correlation.
This matters because the document does not treat the coil as a single isolated electrical part. It treats the transmitter and receiver pair as a coupled system, so the design must stay inside the acceptable region when mated with other certified devices.
The document also warns that mated coil parameters should not sit too close to the edge of the boundary, because real product tolerances could move them outside the valid region. In practice, that means margin is part of the design target.
Position-specific coil specifications
Clause 6.2.1 requires the PRx coil center to be within a 2 mm radius of the PTx coil center when mating to an MPT. Clause 6.3.1 mirrors that requirement from the transmitter side.
This is the basic placement rule for the magnetic attach system. It tells product teams what the magnetic centering function has to achieve before power transfer can be expected to behave as intended.
Clauses 6.2 and 6.3 then set magnetic boundary cases for aligned, misaligned, and vertically offset positions. The practical effect is that compliance is checked not only at the ideal position, but also at realistic off-center and spaced conditions.
Correlated electrical parameters
Clause 6 groups the relevant electrical parameters into correlated sets, including inductive and resistive parameters and magnetic coupling. That grouping matters because some values move together as the coil pair shifts or spacing changes.
For a designer or buyer, this means the document is not only asking for a nominal coil, but for a coil whose behavior remains inside the expected envelope under multiple operating positions. For a test lab, it defines which values must be checked together.
What terms does prEN IEC 63758-5-3:2026 define?
- Power Transmitter (PTx) - the transmitter-side Qi coil system model defined in Clause 3.
- Power Receiver (PRx) - the receiver-side Qi coil system model defined in Clause 4.
- MPP magnetic boundary (MPPMB) - the interoperability boundary used in Clause 6 to judge whether mated coil parameters stay acceptable.
- TPR#MPP3 - the test receiver configuration used in Clause 3.2.2 to evaluate whether PTx magnets saturate receiver shielding.
- Magnetic Protocol - the Qi magnetic operating mode referenced in the scope for this part.
- magnetic attach alignment method - the Qi alignment method referenced in the scope for this part.
- friendly-metal block - the receiver-side metal structure used in Clause 4.1.6 to represent nearby metallic parts such as a battery or PCB.
- orientation magnet - the extra magnet arrangement used to control angular alignment, not just radial centering.
Who uses prEN IEC 63758-5-3:2026?
prEN IEC 63758-5-3:2026 is used by engineers designing Qi wireless power transmitters and receivers, especially for consumer devices such as flat-surface products, mobile phones, chargers, and accessories. It is also used by mechanical engineers, magnetics specialists, and packaging teams who need to place coils, ferrites, magnets, shields, and nearby metal parts without breaking the Qi magnetic model.
Quality managers and compliance teams use it to verify that a design stays within the specified coil geometry, alignment behavior, and magnetic boundary conditions. Test laboratories use it to compare measured electrical and magnetic behavior against the reference models and mated-condition cases.
Component suppliers can use it to understand the required behavior of ferrite, shielding, magnets, and coil assemblies before product integration. Buyers and product managers can use it to judge whether a proposed design is aimed at the right Qi MPP implementation model.
Which standards are used with prEN IEC 63758-5-3:2026?
The document explicitly relies on ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 for the rules behind requirement wording such as shall, should, may, and can. That matters because it tells readers how to interpret mandatory and recommended statements.
It also sits inside the wider Qi Specification family named in Clause 1.1. The companion parts and related documents named there are:
- General documents
- Introduction
- Glossary, Acronyms, and Symbols
- Technical System Overview
- Power Profiles
- Mechanical, Thermal, and User Interface

- NFCTag Protection
- Authentication Protocol
- MPP Communications Protocol
- MPP PowerDelivery
- MPP Communications PhysicalLayer
- MPP ForeignObjectDetection

- Thermal Management Protocol
These named parts provide the broader Qi behavior around packets, communications, power delivery, detection, and system integration that this magnetics part depends on.
What does the prEN IEC 63758-5-3:2026 document contain?
The document contains reference coil-system drawings, exploded views, cross-sections, assembly views, and dimension tables for the PTx and PRx models. It also contains magnetic-field tables for the permanent magnet arrangements, plus figures that show how the field is distributed across the interface surface.
It provides electrical parameter tables for free-air operation and for mated operation at the aligned and offset positions. Those tables are used for design verification and for checking whether a real implementation behaves like the specified reference models.
The document also contains equations and plotted boundary figures for the magnetic boundary cases at the stated frequencies and positions. In practice, those boundary plots are the main tools for certification-style comparison of real coil designs against the Qi MPP interoperability envelope.
