1/2 x 1/10 Inch Steel Washer for Magnets (#4 screw) NSW62

Product Description

The nsw62 is a 1/2" diameter by 1/10" thick nickel-plated steel washer designed to provide a flat ferrous target surface for magnets. Its 82° countersunk center hole accepts a #4 screw for flush mounting, allowing a magnet to make direct contact with the washer's flat face. The nsw62 is designed for use with nsc61 steel cups and d61 disc magnets and features a nickel-copper-nickel coating for a smooth, durable silver finish. This part is not a magnet; magnets and mounting hardware are sold separately.

The nsw62 steel washer provides a simple ferrous target surface for creating magnetic latches, catches, closures, and removable connections. Its countersunk hole allows it to be securely mounted with a flush screw, leaving a flat surface for direct contact with a magnet and providing a clean, low-profile installation. It is a versatile choice for cabinetmakers, woodworkers, contractors, makers, and manufacturers building cabinet doors, drawers, access panels, hatches, boxes, cases, and custom enclosures. The nsw62 can be paired with a compatible magnet to create a simple magnetic closure without requiring a second magnet.

Product Features

• Ferrous Magnet Target - Provides a steel surface that permanent magnets can strongly attract to.
• Center Hole Design - Allows the washer to be mechanically mounted with a screw, bolt, rivet, or other compatible fastener.
• Flat Contact Surface - Broad, flat face provides an effective mating area for disc, mounting, and other flat-faced magnets.
• Low-Profile Design - Thin construction adds a magnetic attachment point without requiring a bulky steel component.
• Simple Mechanical Installation - Can be incorporated into wood, plastic, walls, furniture, and fabricated components using appropriate hardware.
• Useful Alternative to a Second Magnet - Provides an attraction point for a permanent magnet without requiring another magnet on the mating side.
• Easy to Embed - Can be recessed into a component for a clean, concealed magnetic connection.
• Reusable Magnetic Target - Provides repeated magnetic attachment without electricity, batteries, or moving parts.
• Non-Magnetized Steel Component - The washer is attracted to magnets but does not need to be a permanent magnet itself.
