This guide is for creators, hobbyists, and engineers who need strong, compact magnetic solutions. The key benefit is a powerful magnetic pull from a small form factor, offering excellent value. A potential caveat is that N35 grade magnets are not as strong as higher N42 grades but provide a cost-effective option. This product features thin, rectangular neodymium magnets (25mm x 8mm x 2mm) with a triple-layer nickel-copper-nickel coating for corrosion resistance and a smooth finish. They are suitable for creative projects, manufacturing, and engineering where space is limited and strength is essential.

The 'N' stands for Neodymium, and '35' indicates the grade of the magnet. Higher numbers generally represent stronger magnetic properties. N35 is a common and cost-effective grade, offering good strength for many applications, though not as strong as N42 or N52 grades.
Each magnet can support a steel weight of up to 2.1kg vertically when in flush contact with a mild steel surface. This is a theoretical maximum and actual holding power can vary based on surface conditions and contact area.
The triple-layer nickel-copper-nickel coating provides good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for use in many environments. However, they are not entirely waterproof and prolonged submersion in water is not recommended.
Neodymium magnets are powerful and should be kept away from children. If swallowed, multiple magnets can attract each other through the intestinal walls, causing serious injury or death. Adult supervision is strongly advised.
For best results, use a strong adhesive like cyanoacrylate (super glue) or an epoxy designed for bonding magnets to various surfaces. Ensure both the magnet surface and the target surface are clean and dry before application.
Handle magnets with care, avoiding snapping them forcefully together or against other magnetic materials. Store them with separators and avoid dropping them. The coating helps protect the magnet, but the core material is brittle.
Ensure the magnet is in direct, flush contact with a clean, mild steel surface. Check that the surface is sufficiently thick and free of paint or coatings that could reduce magnetic contact. Verify the weight being supported does not exceed the magnet's rated capacity (2.1kg vertical pull).
Inspect the magnet for any cracks or significant chips. While the coating offers protection, neodymium magnets can be brittle. If damaged, it may have reduced strength and sharp edges. Consider replacing the magnet if the damage affects performance or safety.
When storing multiple magnets, use a thin piece of cardboard or plastic between them to prevent them from snapping together. To separate strongly attracted magnets, slide one off the other rather than pulling directly. Use a lever if necessary.
Setup:
These magnets are ready to use out of the box. They can be affixed using strong adhesives suitable for magnets and the intended surface. For projects involving wood or plastic, they can be pressed into pre-cut grooves or recesses.
