The SCM model 3 was a type of superconductor magnet used by Starfleet Engineering in deuterium control conduits on Galaxy-class starships in 2365. The component had physical dimensions approximately 20 cm by 15 cm by 5 cm.

They were powerful enough to create a magnetic field capable of attracting iron particles inside blood cells. At close range, the field generated could apply enough force to remove the iron from the body. (TNG: "The Dauphin")
