Product Description
Strong magnets often end up in the same basket as CCTV kit, so here is a plain read on what these are before you order.
The N52 Neodymium Disc Magnets 20mm x 3mm (SKU MAGNET-DISC-20MMX3MM) are rare earth magnets sold for industrial and craft applications. They are not a CCTV accessory, so treat them as a general-purpose magnet.
The numbers, in plain English
- N52: the strength grade of the neodymium material. N52 is a high grade among those commonly sold.
- 20mm x 3mm: a round disc, 20mm across and 3mm thick.
- Neodymium: a rare earth material that holds far more for its size than an ordinary ceramic magnet.
Check before you buy
- What it needs to grip. Magnets hold to iron and steel. Wood, plastic and aluminium are not magnetic, so a disc will not stick to them on its own.
- Where it will sit. Keep these well away from pacemakers, bank cards and magnetic storage such as hard drives, which includes the drive in a CCTV recorder.
- How you will handle them. Neodymium is brittle. If two discs snap together they can chip, so slide them apart rather than pulling them straight off each other.
