Neodymium flat magnets i.e. MPL 20x5x3 / N38 are magnets made from neodymium in a rectangular form. They are valued for their exceptionally potent magnetic properties, which are much stronger than ordinary ferrite magnets.
Due to their power, flat magnets are frequently applied in structures that need very strong attraction.
The standard temperature resistance of these magnets is 80 °C, but with larger dimensions, this value rises.
Additionally, flat magnets commonly have different coatings applied to their surfaces, e.g. nickel, gold, or chrome, to improve their strength.
The magnet labeled MPL 20x5x3 / N38 and a magnetic force 2.37 kg which weighs just 2.25 grams, making it the perfect choice for projects needing a flat magnet.

Neodymium flat magnets present a range of advantages compared to other magnet shapes, which lead to them being a perfect solution for a multitude of projects:
Contact surface: Due to their flat shape, flat magnets ensure a larger contact surface with adjacent parts, which can be beneficial in applications requiring a stronger magnetic connection.
Technology applications: They are often utilized in many devices, e.g. sensors, stepper motors, or speakers, where the flat shape is crucial for their operation.
Mounting: The flat form's flat shape makes mounting, especially when it is necessary to attach the magnet to some surface.
Design flexibility: The flat shape of the magnets allows designers greater flexibility in placing them in structures, which is more difficult with magnets of other shapes.
Stability: In some applications, the flat base of the flat magnet may provide better stability, minimizing the risk of shifting or rotating. However, one should remember that the optimal shape of the magnet depends on the specific project and requirements. In certain cases, other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, are more appropriate.

Magnets attract ferromagnetic materials, such as iron elements, nickel, materials with cobalt or alloys of metals with magnetic properties. Additionally, magnets may lesser affect alloys containing iron, such as steel. Magnets are used in many fields.

The operation of magnets is based on the properties of the magnetic field, which is generated by the movement of electric charges within their material. The magnetic field of magnets creates attractive interactions, which attract materials containing nickel or other magnetic materials.

Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S), which attract each other when they are different. Poles of the same kind, e.g. two north poles, repel each other.
Thanks to this principle of operation, magnets are commonly used in magnetic technologies, such as motors, speakers, sensors, or magnetic locks. Neodymium magnets stand out with the highest power of attraction, making them ideal for applications requiring powerful magnetic fields. Additionally, the strength of a magnet depends on its dimensions and the materials used.

Magnets do not attract plastic, glass items, wooden materials or precious stones. Furthermore, magnets do not affect certain metals, such as copper items, aluminum, gold. Although these metals conduct electricity, do not exhibit ferromagnetic properties, meaning that they remain unaffected by a magnet, unless they are subjected to an extremely strong magnetic field.
It should be noted that high temperatures can weaken the magnet's effect. Every magnetic material has its Curie point, meaning that under such conditions, the magnet stops being magnetic. Interestingly, strong magnets can interfere with the operation of devices, such as navigational instruments, magnetic stripe cards and even electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields. For this reason, it is important to avoid placing magnets near such devices.

Advantages and disadvantages of neodymium magnets NdFeB.

In addition to immense power, neodymium magnets have the following advantages:

They do not lose strength over time. After 10 years, their power decreases by only ~1% (theoretically),
They are exceptionally resistant to demagnetization caused by an external magnetic field,
In other words, thanks to the shiny nickel, gold, or silver finish, the element gains an visually attractive appearance,
They have very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet,
Magnetic neodymium magnets are characterized by very high magnetic induction on the surface of the magnet and can operate (depending on the form) even at temperatures of 230°C or higher...
Thanks to the flexibility in shaping and the ability to adapt to specific requirements – neodymium magnets can be produced in many variants of shapes or sizes, which expands the range of their possible uses.
Key role in advanced technologically fields – find application in HDD drives, electric motors, medical apparatus and various technologically advanced devices.

Disadvantages of neodymium magnets:

They are prone to breaking as they are extremely fragile when subjected to a powerful impact. If the magnets are exposed to impacts, we recommend using magnets in a steel housing. The steel housing in the form of a holder protects the magnet from impacts and also increases its overall strength,
High temperatures can reduce the strength of neodymium magnets. Typically, after heating above 80°C, most of them experience a permanent loss in strength (although it is dependent on the form and size). To prevent this, we offer special magnets marked with the symbol [AH], which are highly resistant to high temperatures. They can operate even at temperatures up to 230°C, making them an ideal solution for applications requiring high-temperature operation,
Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore, when using them outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic, or other moisture-resistant materials,
Limited ability to create threads or complex shapes in the magnet - the use of a housing is recommended - magnetic holder
Potential hazard to health from tiny fragments of magnets are risky, in case of ingestion, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting young children. Furthermore, small elements of these magnets can hinder the diagnostic process in case of swallowing.

Be Cautious with Neodymium Magnets

Neodymium magnetic are extremely fragile, leading to their cracking.

Neodymium magnets are characterized by considerable fragility. Neodymium magnets are made of metal and coated with a shiny nickel surface, but they are not as hard as steel. In the event of a collision between two magnets, there may be a scattering of fragments in different directions. Protecting your eyes is crucial in such a situation.

People with pacemakers are advised to avoid neodymium magnets.

Neodymium magnets produce strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of a heart pacemaker. However, if the magnetic field does not affect the device, it can damage its components or deactivate the device when it is in a magnetic field.

Neodymium magnets are over 10 times stronger than ferrite magnets (the ones in speakers), and their strength can surprise you.

On our website, you can find information on how to use neodymium magnets. This will help you avoid injuries and prevent damage to the magnets.

Magnets should not be treated as toys. Therefore, it is not recommended for children to have access to them.

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Be cautious and make sure no child plays with them. Small magnets can pose a serious choking hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other through the intestinal walls, causing significant injuries, and even death.

It is crucial not to allow the magnets to pinch together uncontrollably or place your fingers in their path as they attract to each other.

If joining of neodymium magnets is not under control, at that time they may crumble and crack. Remember not to move them to each other or have them firmly in hands at a distance less than 10 cm.

Keep neodymium magnets away from GPS and smartphones.

Magnetic fields generated by neodymium magnets interfere with compasses and magnetometers used in navigation, as well as internal compasses of smartphones and GPS devices.

The magnet is coated with nickel. Therefore, exercise caution if you have an allergy.

Studies show a small percentage of people have allergies to certain metals, including nickel. An allergic reaction often manifests as skin redness and rash. If you have a nickel allergy, try wearing gloves or avoid direct contact with nickel-plated neodymium magnets.

Neodymium magnets can demagnetize at high temperatures.

Whilst Neodymium magnets can lose their magnetic properties at high temperatures, it's important to note that the extent of this effect can vary based on factors such as the magnet's material, shape, and intended application.

You should keep neodymium magnets at a safe distance from the wallet, computer, and TV.

Strong fields generated by neodymium magnets can damage magnetic storage media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other similar devices. In addition, they can damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT displays. Avoid placing neodymium magnets in close proximity to electronic devices.

Dust and powder from neodymium magnets are flammable.

Do not attempt to drill into neodymium magnets. Mechanical processing is also not recommended. If the magnet is crushed into fine powder or dust, it becomes highly flammable.

Warning!
