When the power is switched off, the magnet loses its magnetic field, making it ideal for small controllable locking, sorting, and pick-and-place applications.\n\nSince it behaves as an inductive load, you should drive it through a motor or solenoid driver with flyback (kick-back) protection to avoid damaging your microcontroller.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nHolding Force – 2.5kg (5.5 lb)\n\nWorking Voltage – DC 4–6V (nominal 5V)\n\nModel – P20/15\n\nInstant On/Off – Magnetic only when powered\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nSmall electromagnetic locks and latches\nLightweight pick-and-place mechanisms\nRobotics and automation projects\nInteractive installations and exhibits\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× 5V Electromagnet (2.5kg holding force, P20/15)\n\n\n\nNote: Holding force is not the same as pick-up weight. Divide by 5–10 for an approximate pick-up capacity (~250–500g). Actual performance depends on the contact surface being flat and the object being ferromagnetic steel.\n\n\n\nOther sizes available: 3kg, 5kg, 8kg, 10kg, 15kg, 20kg, 25kg, 30kg, and 35kg.\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":5791,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-3872","price":14.63,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
