Small magnets (67)
Small but surprisingly strong: small neodymium magnets of a few millimeters, also known as mini magnets. Here you will find all small sizes gathered together: discs from Ø2 mm, blocks, cubes, spheres, and rods up to approx. 6 mm.
Which small magnet should you choose?
| Shape | Useful for |
|---|---|
| Discs Ø2 to Ø6 mm | model making, closures in boxes, concealed in jewelry, crafts |
| Rods Ø2 to Ø4 mm | in a drilled or 3D-printed hole, sensors, small components |
| Blocks and cubes 3 to 6 mm | mounting in slots and compartments, displays, magnetic boards |
| Spheres Ø3 to Ø6 mm | creative building, decoration, educational experiments |
If you want as much power as possible from a small size, choose a higher grade such as N50 or N52. Read more in what N35, N42, N48 and N52 mean, or use the Magnet Advisor.
Tips for working with small magnets
- Separating: small magnets stick together firmly. Slide them sideways off the stack instead of pulling them straight apart, or use a magnet dispenser.
- Securing: glue them in place with two-component adhesive; see how do you mount a magnet?
- Polarity: mark the poles before gluing so that two magnets attract each other instead of repelling.
Safe use
Small magnets are not toys and should be kept out of reach of children and pets. If two or more small magnets are swallowed, they can attract each other through the intestinal wall: seek medical attention immediately if suspected. Also read magnets, children and pets.
Frequently asked questions
What is the smallest magnet you sell?
The smallest magnets are discs of Ø2 mm and Ø3 x 0.5 mm, and rods of Ø2 mm.
Are small magnets weak?
No. Neodymium is the strongest type of magnet available, so even a magnet of a few millimeters holds more than you would expect. The holding power per product is shown on the product page. If you need a lot of power, take a look at the strong magnets.
Do I get a discount for larger quantities?
Yes. With small magnets, you automatically receive tiered discounts, usually starting from 25 or 50 pieces. The tiers are shown on the product page.
