Neodymium N38 Magnets - Disk, 15x7mm

Magnets, often referred to (by our writer) as magical materials that move metals, are quite amazing little tools that are used in a surprising number of different appliances and devices that you probably have in your own home. In fact, magnets are very often used in even the most mundane electrical and Electronics devices and appliances, as well as for mechanical applications like cupboard doors and cutlery holders.

These magnets are N38 Neodymium Magnets, and are Disk-shaped with 15mm diameter and 7mm thickness, sold in packs of 5. The N38 rating means that, while these are still some of the strongest magnets available to hobbyists, there are still even higher ratings up to N52 that are even stronger in terms of Residual Flux Density (Br) and Max Energy Product (BH) Max. However, despite these fancy scientific terms, all you need to know that these Magnets offer an impressive level of holding power, with a temperature resistance of up to 80°C, making it a great choice for most magnet applications.

Please Note: These magnets are priced individually but sold in minimum quantities of 5. This is done to reduce the overall cost for you, while making it easy to estimate exact pricings for each project.

Typical Applications for Neodymium N38 Disk Magnets:

Because of the large diameter and thin width of these magnets, they are an excellent choice for applications in which a large surface area is a benefit. This style lends itself well to installing these magnets behind thin wood, plastics and other materials, so as to make magnetic walls that can hold your Hand Tools, clothes or any other relatively lightweight goodies without the need for shelf space.

In fact, we like to use them in our workshops for our lightweight tools like pliers and screwdrivers, while in the offices we use them for key-holders and product photography mounting points. And while these examples certainly don’t exhaust the endless number of different applications for magnets in a DIY Hobbyist’s workshop, they clearly demonstrate just how useful magnets can be in almost any environment.
