Eclipse M19175/MSC Alnico Pot Magnet 1.25 Lb 0.5 in 6-32

Product Description

The ECLIPSE M19175/MSC is an Alnico pot magnet designed for holding, latching, and retrieval applications that require reliable magnetic force in high-temperature environments. Built from Alnico 5 material, it delivers an average pull force of 1.25 pounds and a maximum pull force of 2.5 pounds from a compact 0.5-inch diameter, 0.5-inch high form factor. The 6-32 threaded stud allows secure mounting to fixtures, assemblies, or panels. With a maximum operating temperature of 428 degrees F, this magnet maintains performance in conditions where standard ferrite or neodymium magnets would degrade. Maintenance technicians, industrial assemblers, and trade contractors use this type of magnet for door catches, sensor positioning, and small-component holding jigs.

This pot magnet is suited for light-duty holding and latching tasks in residential and commercial trade environments. Typical applications include HVAC access panel latches, electrical enclosure catches, and equipment hold-down points where a threaded mounting stud is required. The Alnico 5 grade material is chosen when elevated operating temperatures rule out other magnet types. The compact size fits in tight quarters where larger magnets would not clear adjacent hardware.

Key Features

• Alnico 5 magnet material rated for up to 428 degrees F maximum operating temperature
• Average pull force of 1.25 pounds with a maximum pull force of 2.5 pounds
• 6-32 threaded stud for direct bolt-in or stud-mount installation
• Compact profile at 0.5 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches in height
• Pot-style steel cup concentrates flux for improved holding strength relative to magnet size

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose threaded pot magnet for light-duty holding and latching applications requiring a 6-32 thread mount and high-temperature magnet material.

Installation Notes

Installation requires only a screwdriver or appropriately sized nut driver to seat the 6-32 threaded stud into the mating fixture. Ensure the mating surface is clean, flat, and ferrous for rated pull force. Keep the magnet away from sensitive electronics, magnetic media, and precision instruments during handling. Verify that the ambient operating temperature of the installation location does not exceed 428 degrees F to maintain magnet performance over time.
