A magnetic tether switch for equipment or vehicles is described. The magnetic tether switch may include a base having a first magnetic assembly. The first magnetic assembly may include a magnet and a first magnetic flux return component, or multiple magnets with reversed polarization directions. The magnetic tether switch may include a cap including a second magnetic assembly. The second magnetic assembly may include a magnet and a magnetic flux return component, or multiple magnets with reversed polarization directions. Alternatively, the second magnetic assembly may be composed of a ferrous material. The base may include a circuit with multiple contacts, where attaching the cap to the base may connect or disconnect the contacts to each other by moving the magnet within the base by magnetic attraction from the cap.
