Quick Answers
| Question |
Answer |
| How strong is this magnet? |
Approximately 5.5 lbs of pull force under ideal conditions. |
| What is this magnet made of? |
NdFeB (Neodymium-Iron-Boron) rare earth material. |
| Is N42 stronger than N35 magnets? |
Yes. N42 provides significantly greater magnetic strength than N35, N38, and N40 magnets of the same size. |
| Can it be used outdoors? |
Yes, but additional sealing is recommended for long-term outdoor exposure or humid environments. |

Product Overview
These 3/4" x 1/16" N42 Neodymium Disc Magnets are designed for applications requiring a wide magnetic contact area in an ultra-thin profile. The 3/4-inch diameter provides excellent surface coverage and holding power, while the slim 1/16-inch thickness allows the magnet to sit nearly flush when embedded into wood, plastic, acrylic, or other materials.
Manufactured from premium N42 grade NdFeB (Neodymium-Iron-Boron), these magnets deliver dependable magnetic performance while remaining lightweight and easy to install. They're an excellent choice for magnetic closures, signage, displays, woodworking, crafts, product assemblies, and custom DIY projects.
Each magnet features a durable Nickel-Copper-Nickel (Ni-Cu-Ni) triple-layer coating that provides outstanding resistance to corrosion, scratches, and chipping while maintaining a smooth, polished metallic finish.
What Is a Neodymium Disc Magnet?
A neodymium disc magnet is a permanent magnet manufactured from NdFeB (Neodymium-Iron-Boron), the strongest commercially available magnetic material. Disc magnets provide exceptional magnetic force while maintaining a compact, low-profile design, making them one of the most versatile magnet shapes available.
These magnets are magnetized through their thickness, placing the north and south poles on the two flat circular faces. This design provides maximum holding force for magnetic closures, fixtures, displays, sensors, woodworking, electronics, and countless industrial and DIY applications.
Neodymium magnets are also commonly known as Neo magnets, NdFeB magnets, NIB magnets, or super magnets.
How Strong Is This Magnet?
This 3/4" x 1/16" N42 disc magnet provides over 5.5 pounds of pull force under ideal testing conditions using a thick, clean steel surface.
Although extremely thin, the large 3/4-inch diameter provides an excellent contact area that helps maximize holding performance for lightweight to medium-duty applications.
Actual pull force depends on:
- Surface material
- Steel thickness
- Contact area
- Air gap
- Mounting method
- Environmental conditions
Note: Pull force values are estimates based on ideal laboratory conditions. Actual performance should always be verified in your intended application.
