Eclipse 829 Alnico Pot Magnet 1 Lb Pull 3/8 Inch M3

Product Description

The ECLIPSE 829 is a threaded pot magnet built around a Grade 5 Alnico core housed in a mild steel cup. It produces an average pull force of 1 lb and a maximum pull force of 2.2 lbs, making it suitable for light-duty holding and mounting applications where a compact, thermally stable magnet is required. The M3 threaded hole allows direct fastening to fixtures, panels, or jigs without additional hardware. At a maximum operating temperature of 428 degrees F, this magnet retains performance in environments that would degrade standard ferrite or neodymium designs. Installers in HVAC, electrical panel fabrication, and light industrial settings commonly specify pot magnets like this for sensor positioning, door catches, and fixture anchoring.

This magnet is intended for applications requiring a small-footprint, screw-mount holding element. The 3/8-inch diameter and 9/16-inch height make it well suited for tight installation spaces. Its red-colored steel cup provides a visual reference on the bench or in the field. The Alnico 5 grade offers a stable magnetic output over a wide temperature range, which is an advantage in equipment rooms, control enclosures, and outdoor-rated panels where thermal cycling occurs.

Key Features

• Grade 5 Alnico core with 1 lb average pull force and 2.2 lb maximum pull force
• M3 threaded hole mount for direct bolt-in installation
• Maximum operating temperature of 428 degrees F for high-heat environments
• Mild steel cup concentrates flux and protects the magnet face
• Compact 3/8-inch diameter by 9/16-inch height for tight-space installs
• Red cup color aids bench identification and inventory sorting

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose threaded pot magnet for light-duty holding applications in HVAC, electrical, and industrial service work where an M3 threaded mounting interface is required.

Installation Notes

Installation requires only a screwdriver or hex key appropriate for the M3 thread. De-energize or isolate any nearby sensitive electronic components before positioning magnets, as magnetic fields can affect sensors and relays. Do not exceed the rated pull force, as overloading the mount thread can strip the cup. Follow applicable mechanical and electrical codes for the specific application context.
