Adafruit 5V Electromagnet - 2.5 Kg Holding Force

Turn ferromagnetic objects into playthings with this compact electromagnet. Simply connect to a power source of about 5VDC to magnetize. Deactivate the magnetism by cutting off the power, leaving just a harmless metal piece.

Key Specifications:

- Power Requirement: 4-6VDC

- Holding Force: Around 2.5Kg / 5.5lb

- Recommended Usage: Requires a motor or solenoid driver for proper operation

Make sure to apply on flat metal surfaces for optimal performance, as irregular or non-ferromagnetic surfaces will reduce effectiveness. With the right setup, this electromagnet can lift approximately 1 lb under ideal conditions.
