Rarely are the dimensions as straightforward as with this little beauty. You are afforded the unusual luxury of putting your calculator back in the drawer. There is surprisingly simple joy in using simple and elegant dimensions such as these. Where the diameter and thickness are one and the same.
Rare Earth magnets with these types of dimensions are always sought after, particularly with customers who may be new to magnets. There certainly is something comforting in using dimensions that are easy to navigate whilst getting the measure of a new material.
Reed switches are so commonplace that we forget they even exist. Furthermore we certainly don’t always contemplate just how they operate. Reed switches, as you may (or may not) remember from your schooling, is a switch that operates based on the proximity of a magnetic field. There are numerous products that utilise reed switches, including security devices and model railways and even the magical way your laptop knows to turn on when you open it up. These all rely on the constant, reliable and simple power of magnets.
