Neodymium Disc Magnet – 5mm x 1mm | N50 | Gold

Description

The Neodymium Disc Magnet – 5mm x 1mm | N50 | Gold is a miniature, high-strength rare earth magnet featuring a premium gold-coloured finish. Manufactured from N50 grade Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB), this compact permanent magnet delivers impressive magnetic performance relative to its exceptionally small size.

Measuring just 5mm in diameter and 1mm thick, this ultra-thin neodymium disc magnet is designed for applications where installation space is limited and a discreet magnetic fastening solution is required.

Its gold-plated finish provides an attractive metallic appearance, making it particularly suitable for craft projects, decorative applications, jewellery components, miniature closures, model making and precision assemblies where the magnet may remain visible.

The high-performance N50 magnetic grade offers greater magnetic energy potential than lower-grade neodymium materials of the same dimensions and magnetisation. This makes it a practical option for projects requiring magnetic attraction from a small, lightweight component.

Despite its miniature dimensions, this rare earth magnet can provide useful holding performance when correctly installed against a suitable ferromagnetic surface or an appropriately oriented opposing magnet.

The slim 1mm thickness makes it especially useful for low-profile applications such as paper crafts, miniature models, magnetic closures, decorative projects and custom magnetic assemblies.

Neodymium magnets, also known as rare earth magnets, NdFeB magnets, super strong magnets or permanent neodymium magnets, are among the strongest commercially available permanent magnets.

The N50 designation identifies the magnetic material grade and does not represent a pull force of 50kg. Actual magnetic holding performance depends on the magnet's dimensions, magnetisation direction, contact area, target material and operating conditions.

Also known as a 5mm gold neodymium magnet, 5mm x 1mm rare earth disc magnet, miniature gold-plated magnet, ultra-thin N50 magnet, small round neodymium magnet or gold-coated craft magnet, this product provides a versatile solution for projects requiring compact magnetic strength and a decorative finish.

High-Performance N50 Neodymium Grade

This magnet is manufactured from N50 grade Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB).

N50 is a high-performance magnetic material grade offering strong magnetic energy density.

Compared with lower grades such as N35, N38 and N42, N50 material generally provides greater magnetic energy potential when comparing magnets of identical dimensions and magnetisation.

Benefits of N50 Magnetic Material

High Magnetic Strength Relative to Size

N50 neodymium magnets provide strong magnetic performance from compact dimensions.

Suitable for Miniature Applications

The high magnetic energy density makes N50 material useful for small magnetic components.

Permanent Magnetic Field

Provides magnetic attraction without requiring electrical power.

Versatile Applications

Suitable for craft projects, precision assemblies and specialised magnetic applications.

The N50 grade does not indicate a 50kg pull-force rating.

Decorative Gold Finish

This neodymium disc magnet features an attractive gold-coloured coating, providing a polished metallic appearance.

The decorative finish makes it particularly useful for applications where the magnet may remain visible.

Potential uses include:

• Jewellery components

• Decorative craft projects

• Premium packaging

• Miniature displays

• Magnetic closures

• Custom accessories

• Model making

The coating also provides a protective surface layer over the underlying neodymium material.

Please Note: The exact coating composition and thickness have not been supplied. Gold-coloured neodymium magnets commonly use a plated coating system, but the specific plating structure should be confirmed where required.

Craft and DIY Applications

Miniature neodymium disc magnets are widely used in creative projects because of their compact dimensions and useful magnetic attraction.

Potential applications include:

• Handmade cards

• Scrapbooking

• Decorative magnets

• Miniature closures

• Craft embellishments

• Magnetic artwork

• Custom packaging

• DIY magnetic accessories

The 1mm thickness allows the magnet to be incorporated into thin materials and compact designs.

For adhesive mounting, select an adhesive suitable for the magnet's coating and the intended substrate.

Miniature Magnetic Closures

This gold neodymium disc magnet may be suitable for creating discreet magnetic closures in lightweight applications.

Potential uses include:

• Small decorative boxes

• Miniature cases

• Craft packaging

• Lightweight display components

• Custom accessories

• Model-making projects

A magnetic closure may use:

• One magnet and a suitable ferromagnetic steel component

• Two magnets with correctly aligned opposite poles

For best results, ensure the magnets are positioned correctly and that the contact surfaces are clean.

Precision and Model-Making Applications

The compact 5mm diameter and 1mm thickness make this magnet useful for miniature assemblies.

Potential applications include:

• Scale models

• Miniature mechanisms

• Precision positioning

• Custom prototypes

• Model-making components

Its small size allows it to be incorporated into applications where larger magnets may not fit.

Magnetic Field and Magnetisation Direction

The magnetic field generated by a neodymium disc magnet depends on its material grade, dimensions and magnetisation direction.

Disc magnets are commonly magnetised axially, with North and South poles on opposite flat circular faces.

However, the magnetisation direction of this specific product has not been confirmed.

For applications requiring a particular pole orientation, confirm the magnetisation direction before installation.

Magnetic Holding Performance

The holding strength of this N50 disc magnet depends on several factors, including:

• Magnet dimensions

• N50 magnetic grade

• Magnetisation direction

• Contact surface area

• Target steel thickness

• Surface condition

• Air gaps

• Load orientation

• Operating temperature

• Magnetic circuit configuration

The exact pull-force rating and surface Gauss have not been supplied.

For applications requiring a defined holding force, obtain verified performance data or conduct appropriate testing.

Installation and Handling

Due to its miniature size and thin profile, this magnet should be handled carefully.
