Product Information

Full details

The First4Magnets N42 Neodymium Disc Magnets are an ideal solution for hobbyists, engineers, and crafters who need reliable magnetic force in a space-constrained environment. Measuring 10mm by 1.5mm, these powerful discs are perfect for applications like model making, cabinetry, or custom packaging; however, users should exercise caution during handling, as these high-strength magnets are brittle and can snap together with enough force to chip or cause injury.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these magnets safe for children?

No. These are high-strength magnets that present a significant choking and internal injury hazard if swallowed.

Can I weld or solder these magnets?

No. Heat will destroy the magnetic properties of neodymium magnets.

Will these magnets rust?

The nickel-copper-nickel coating is resistant to corrosion, but it can rust if the coating is scratched or exposed to high-moisture environments.

How do I remove the magnets from each other?

Use a sliding motion to push them apart; do not attempt to pull them directly away from each other.

What is the N42 rating?

N42 is a grade of magnetic material indicating the magnetic flux density; higher numbers generally indicate a stronger magnetic field.

Troubleshooting

Magnet attracts unwanted metal objects frequently

Store unused magnets in a plastic or wooden container away from the workspace.

Magnet is difficult to separate from a steel surface

Slide the magnet to the edge of the surface rather than pulling it directly away to leverage its weak axis.

Adhesive failing to hold the magnet in place

Degrease the contact surface with isopropyl alcohol before reapplying a high-strength epoxy or cyanoacrylate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High pull strength relative to small size
  • Durable triple-layer protective coating
  • Excellent resistance to demagnetisation
  • Versatile for both professional engineering and DIY crafts

Cons

  • Brittle material can chip if allowed to collide
  • Strong magnetic force requires careful handling near electronics
  • Not intended for extreme heat environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When setting up, ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying adhesive, as neodymium magnets are best secured using industrial-grade cyanoacrylate or epoxy adhesives. Avoid using these magnets near sensitive electronic equipment, credit cards, or medical devices like pacemakers. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth; avoid using water or household chemicals that could potentially penetrate the nickel coating over time. Store them in a non-metallic container to prevent accidental attraction to other steel tools or surfaces, which can make them difficult to separate and prone to chipping upon impact.
