Ferrite C8 Bar Magnet (63.5 x 3.17 x 12.7mm)

Description

This unmagnetized Ferrite C8 bar magnet is designed for use in humbucker pickups and other magnetic assemblies requiring a high-coercivity ceramic magnet.

Ferrite C8 (ceramic 8) magnets are commonly used in humbuckers to deliver strong magnetic output, tight low-end response, and increased attack, making them a popular choice for high-output and modern pickup designs.

Supplied unmagnetized, this bar magnet allows builders to control magnetization orientation and strength during final assembly, ensuring consistent results across builds, rewinds, and production runs.

Builder Notes

This magnet is supplied unmagnetized and must be magnetized prior to final pickup assembly. Ferrite C8 magnets are compatible with standard humbucker baseplates, pole screws, and slugs.

Due to their high coercivity, ceramic magnets require adequate magnetizing force to reach full saturation.

Available in bulk quantities for pickup builders, schools, and repair shops.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does “unmagnetized” mean?
The magnet is supplied in a raw state without magnetic polarity, allowing builders to magnetize it during assembly.

Is this compatible with standard humbuckers?
Yes. The dimensions match standard humbucker bar magnet sizes.

How does Ferrite C8 compare to Alnico magnets?
Ferrite C8 offers higher output, tighter low end, and more aggressive attack compared to Alnico magnets.

Do I need special equipment to magnetize this?
Yes. Ferrite magnets require a strong magnetizer capable of fully saturating ceramic material.

Is bulk pricing available?
Yes. Builder and school bulk pricing is available.
