Claim:
1. A connector interface system, comprising: a cap to connect to a reservoir to form a reservoir/cap unit for installation into an infusion pump device; and at least one magnetic detectable feature arranged on the cap for detection by at least one sensor element on the infusion pump device when the reservoir of the reservoir/cap unit is received in a reservoir receptacle of the infusion pump device, wherein the at least one magnetic detectable feature comprises a magnetic field angle of a magnet that is attached to a housing of the cap, the magnetic field angle being an angle of orientation of a magnetic field of the magnet relative to a predefined axis of the cap or the reservoir/cap unit, the magnetic field angle being non-parallel and non-perpendicular to the predefined axis; and wherein the at least one magnetic detectable feature is arranged at a location on the cap to be detected by the at least one sensor element when the reservoir or the cap of the reservoir/cap unit is in a fully installed and stationary position relative to the infusion pump device.
