FFF CompatibilityThis is a non-electronic cylindrical magnet that physically fits the exact land/mounting space of 5/16" diameter and 1/16" thickness.Identical disk shape and dimensions (0.313" Dia x 0.063" H) with Ni-Cu-Ni plating.Performs the same magnetic latching/sensing function with slightly higher magnetic strength (N42 vs N35).Non-electronic mechanical magnet with identical physical mounting footprint.Matches the 0.313" Dia x 0.063" H cylindrical disk structure precisely.Successfully replaces the original in magnetic applications, providing maximum hold strength.
AI Summary

8160 by Radial Magnets, Inc.: Magnet Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) N35 0.313" Dia x 0.063" H (7.94mm x 1.59mm).

An excellent high-quality alternative that perfectly matches the physical dimensions of the original 8160 magnet. It uses a slightly stronger N42 grade neodymium material to provide better holding force within the exact same footprint.

  • Exact match for physical dimensions (0.313" Dia x 0.063" H / 5/16" x 1/16")
  • Higher grade N42 offers increased magnetic holding force (1.66 lbs vs 1.48 lbs) and surface field (2451 G vs 2171 G)
  • Identical Ni-Cu-Ni protective coating and axial magnetization direction
  • Slightly higher magnetic strength may affect highly calibrated hall-effect sensors if they are sensitive to the increased field.

A premium alternative featuring the highest commercially available N52 neodymium grade. It provides maximum magnetic pull and flux density while maintaining the exact physical dimensions of the target 8160 magnet.

  • Physical dimensions are an exact match for the original (5/16" x 1/16")
  • N52 grade offers the highest possible holding force (2.05 lbs vs 1.48 lbs) and magnetic flux density (2748 G vs 2171 G)
  • Identical axial polarization and Ni-Cu-Ni triple plating
  • Significantly stronger magnetic field (2748 Gauss vs 2171 Gauss) which may trigger magnetic sensors prematurely or require recalibration.

You searched one part. Parter watches your whole BOM.

  1. All your BOM, at once

    Parter maps every line to live stock, lead time, lifecycle and compliance data across the entire market — not part by part.

  2. Hear about problems before they hit production

    Allocation, EOL and last-time-buy notices surface the moment they appear, not when your buyer's PO bounces.

  3. Qualified replacements in minutes, not days

    Every at-risk line gets form-fit-function matches like the ones above — deltas flagged, evidence attached. Review, push to your BOM, and Parter starts watching the new part too.
