These are small rare earth magnets - 3/16" rings. Composed of Neodymium/Iron/Boron (NdFeB), these magnets are curiously strong and make for a great way to attach tools to a metal workbench, hold small children to a fridge, and as a trigger for reed switches. This one small ring can easily hold a piece of paper to your fridge.
We found these small rings to be very useful for connecting PCBs together. These rings are conductive and can act as a magnetic connector between widgets. You need a way to secure the ring to the PCB (screws and rivets have been shown to work).
Sold in single units.

wait a minute...
hold small children to a fridge,
hmmmmm. Do I really need these magnets?
I saw on one of the other magnets you sell, that it had to be within 3cm to trip a reed switch. What is the distance to trip the same switch with this magnet?

If you're getting more than a few, its probably worth the extra shipping to buy from them.
Sorry SF :(. Still great if you only need a few ;-)
holy crap! 1226.5 pull force!
Thank you for that link!!!
I just ordered a few of these from Sparkfun but thanks for posting that link. That site is great for magnets. Next time I need to buy 100 magnets or so I can get them there (and oddly enough I probably will need to soon). They have super tiny magnets 100 for $6.
