  N38
• 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.
  38 MGOe
• Weight: This is the weight of a single magnet in ounces and grams.
  5.3433 oz (151.48 g)
• 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.
  12,600 Gauss
• Color: The color of the coating or plating on the product.
  Black
• Diameter:
  2 11/16"
• Height:
  2"
• Assembly:
  NdFeB disc magnets, steel and plastic housing

The WPH-LG Neodymium Rubber Hook Magnet is a heavy-duty magnetic hanging solution designed for secure attachment to steel surfaces. The 360° rotating hook hangs below the magnetic assembly which lowers the leverage (the force trying to pull or rotate the magnet away from the mounting surface). This low leverage design enables the hook to securely hold a variety of items, including jackets, keys and even small bags on vertical steel surfaces such as filing cabinets, refrigerators and shelving units.

This rubber hook magnet features six powerful neodymium magnets on a steel disc, encased in a waterproof rubber coating. The rubber coated magnet is enclosed in a waterproof plastic housing, with the bottom of the rubber coated magnet exposed. The exposed rubber-coated magnetic base makes direct contact with mounting surfaces. The rubber coated magnet base provides additional grip and protects surfaces during installation and removal. The hook is constructed of the same waterproof plastic as the housing.

How much weight can these handy hooks support? It depends, especially on what type of surface it is sticking to. As described in How Much Will a Magnet Hold, it depends very much on the friction between the two surfaces, which is difficult to predict. Here are the results from a few measurements we made:
