Product Description
Small magnets can surprise you, so it helps to know what you are getting. The 10mm x 2mm N52 Neodymium Disc Magnets (SKU MAGNET-DISC-10MMX2MM) are round, flat rare earth magnets, each 10mm across (1cm) and 2mm thick, supplied for professional and craft projects.
Reading the name
- Neodymium / rare earth: the magnet material, known for a strong pull relative to its size.
- N52: the strength grade. N52 is a high grade of neodymium magnet.
- 10mm x 2mm: diameter first, then thickness, so the disc is slim enough for tight gaps.
Worth checking first
- What it will grip. A magnet needs a ferrous surface such as steel, or a second magnet facing it the right way round. It will not hold to wood, plastic or similar materials.
- How it will stay put. A disc on its own is just a loose part. Decide whether it will be set into a recess or held by another method.
- Where it will sit. Strong magnets can affect bank cards, some storage media and medical implants such as pacemakers, so keep them clear.
Handling
Neodymium is brittle. Two discs close together can snap shut and chip, or trap a fingertip. Slide them apart sideways rather than pulling them straight off each other.
This is a general-purpose magnet for projects, not a purpose-made CCTV part, so judge it on the size and grade above.
