Max Operating Temp: Maximum operating temperature, also known as maximum service temperature, is the temperature at which the magnet may be exposed to continuously with no significant long-range instability or structural changes. Learn more in our Temperature and Neodymium Magnets article.
176°F (80°C)
Material: This lists the name of the material each product is composed of.
Neodymium (NdFeb)
BH Max: BH max is the Maximum Energy Product at the point on the B/H Curve that has the most strength, expressed in MGOe (MegaGaussOersteds). When describing the grade of a neodymium magnet, this number is commonly referred to as the "N" number, as in Grade N52 magnets. Learn more about Bh max in our glossary.

42 MGOe
Tolerances: Dimensional tolerance specifies the allowed leeway for variations in manufacturing.
±0.1 in (2.5mm)
Weight: This is the weight of a single magnet in ounces and grams. Variety packs (with mixed sizes) show the overall weight.

Br Max: Br max is also called "Residual Flux Density" and is when the magnetic induction remaining in a saturated magnetic material after the magnetizing field has been removed. This is the point at which the hysteresis loop crosses the B axis at zero magnetizing force, and represents the maximum flux output from the given magnet material. By definition, this point occurs at zero air gap, and therefore cannot be seen in practical use of magnet materials. Learn more about Br max in our glossary.

Product Description

The ml-s-y0 magnetic cabinet door latch has a 2" length and 1/2", width and 0.16" thickness. Each pack comes with 2 magnetic catches, 2 steel plates for magnets to attach to and 8 screws for mounting. These magnetic latches have a high size to strength ratio with a pull force of 20lb while having a very thin profile.

The ML-S-Y0 neodymium magnetic latch provides a compact, high-strength closure for cabinet doors, drawers, access panels, covers, enclosures, and other components that need to remain securely closed. Its small size and strong magnetic holding force make it a versatile choice for cabinetmakers, woodworkers, contractors, manufacturers, makers, and DIY projects where a simple, reliable magnetic catch is preferred over a mechanical latch. Magnetic latches provide quick, reusable closure without complicated moving parts and allow doors and panels to be easily opened when access is needed. They are well suited for cabinetry, woodworking, storage compartments, equipment enclosures, displays, fixtures, and residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
