    Neodymium Rectangle Magnets

    Unmatched strength in a compact shape. These magnets have the highest strength-to-size ratio of any magnet, delivering powerful pull force even in tight spaces. Their flat, rectangular shape creates a strong, even pull across surfaces and fits easily into slots or grooves. However, they may lose magnetic strength at high temperatures. Also known as rare earth magnets.
    Warning: Maximum pull ratings are based on direct contact with rust-free, unpainted iron surfaces. Variations in material condition will significantly reduce these ratings. Do not use for lifting over people.

    N38SH—These magnets are less likely than other grades to lose magnetic strength when exposed to temperatures up to 300°F.
    Magnetized Through Thickness—Magnetized from one flat face to the other, these magnets deliver a concentrated magnetic force. They’re best for direct contact with flat surfaces.
    Nickel Plated—With a nickel-plated finish, these magnets stand up to solvents, salt water, and chemicals better than uncoated neodymium. The plating may wear off over time, so these are not recommended for applications with a lot of friction or wear.

    Magnetized Through Thickness—Magnetized from one flat face to the other, these magnets deliver a concentrated magnetic force. They’re best for direct contact with flat surfaces.
    Magnetized Through Length—Magnetized end to end, these magnets channel magnetic energy on the longest axis. This orientation creates deep field penetration and directional pull.
    Nickel Plated—With a nickel-plated finish, these magnets stand up to solvents, salt water, and chemicals better than uncoated neodymium. The plating may wear off over time, so these are not recommended for applications with a lot of friction or wear.

    Our most economical magnets cut costs, not reliability. They stay strong in temperatures up to 400° F and resist some corrosion. They’re also nonconductive to prevent short circuits in DC motors, transformers, and speakers. However, they are not as strong as rare earth magnets.
    Warning: Maximum pull ratings are based on direct contact with rust-free, unpainted iron surfaces. Variations in material condition will significantly reduce these ratings. Do not use for lifting over people.
