Eclipse M19174/MSC Alnico Pot Magnet 3/8 in 6-32 Thread

Product Description

The ECLIPSE M19174/MSC is an Alnico pot magnet designed for holding, fastening, and retrieval applications across industrial and trade environments. Built with an Alnico 5 magnet material, it delivers an average pull force of 0.87 pounds and a maximum pull force of 1.7 pounds from a compact 3/8 inch diameter body. The 6-32 threaded stud allows secure mechanical attachment to fixtures, jigs, or panels. Standing 1 inch high and weighing just 0.04 pounds, this magnet is well suited for applications requiring reliable holding force in a small footprint. Its maximum operating temperature of 428 degrees F makes it appropriate for elevated-temperature environments where standard ferrite magnets would lose performance.

This pot magnet is used in industrial manufacturing, HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel work, and general maintenance applications where a compact threaded magnet mount is needed. The Alnico 5 grade provides stable magnetic properties across a wide temperature range, making it a practical choice for sensor mounting, door catches, cabinet latches, and workholding fixtures. Installers in fabrication shops, mechanical rooms, and field service environments commonly use this style of pot magnet for quick-attach and retrieval tasks.

Key Features

• Alnico 5 magnet material provides stable output across a wide temperature range up to 428 degrees F
• Average pull force of 0.87 pounds with maximum pull force of 1.7 pounds
• 6-32 threaded stud for direct mechanical fastening to fixtures or panels
• Compact 3/8 inch diameter and 1 inch height for tight-space installations
• Lightweight at 0.04 pounds, suitable for weight-sensitive assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded pot magnet suitable for general industrial holding, latching, and retrieval applications requiring a 6-32 threaded mount and Alnico magnet performance.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the 6-32 stud into a mating tapped hole or securing with a nut on the mating surface. De-energize or isolate any electrical components in the work area before positioning magnets near sensitive electronic assemblies or ferrous hardware. Avoid impact or drop damage to Alnico magnets, as Alnico material is brittle and can chip or fracture. No special certifications are required for installation, but always verify that the pull force rating meets the load requirements of the specific application before use.
