This compact 5V DC sucker-type electromagnet provides 15kg of holding force at just 2W of power. When energised, the iron core becomes magnetised; when power is removed, the magnetism dissipates quickly. The magnetic polarity can be reversed by swapping the input wires.

With its small form factor, this electromagnet is well suited for DIY electromagnetic locks, smart storage cabinets, and automated door mechanisms. This 25mm-height variant offers a slightly taller profile than the 22mm version.

Ideal For

  • DIY electromagnetic locks and latches
  • Smart storage cabinets and intelligent doors
  • Pick-and-place and sorting mechanisms
  • Robotics and automation projects

Package Contents

  • 1× 5V Electromagnet (15kg holding force, 25mm height)
  • 1× Mounting screw
Note: Holding force is not the same as pick-up weight. Divide by 5–10 for an approximate pick-up capacity (~1.5–3kg). Actual performance depends on the contact surface being flat and the object being ferromagnetic steel. The electromagnet can remain energised long-term when attracted to a surface, but should not be powered continuously with no load attached. Wire colour may vary.
Other sizes available: 3kg, 5kg, 8kg, 10kg, 15kg (22mm), 20kg, 25kg, 30kg, and 35kg.
