Product type
Passive RFID tags are small electronic devices that use radio frequency identification technology to transmit data. They consist of a microchip and an antenna, which are typically encased in a protective material such as plastic or paper. Unlike active RFID tags, passive tags do not have a power source; instead, they draw power from the RFID reader's signal to operate and send back information.
| Frequency range | Low Frequency (LF), High Frequency (HF), Ultra High Frequency (UHF) |
| Read range | Up to 10 meters, depending on the tag and reader |
| Memory size | Typically 64 bits to 8 kilobytes |
| Operating temperature | -25°C to 85°C |
| Material | Plastic, paper, or synthetic materials |
| Form factor | Labels, cards, inlays, or embedded in products |
When selecting passive RFID tags, consider the frequency that best suits your application, as different frequencies have varying read ranges and capabilities. Specify the required memory size based on the amount of data you need to store. Additionally, think about the environmental conditions the tags will face, such as temperature and exposure to moisture, to choose the right materials. Certifications may be necessary for certain industries, so inquire about compliance with relevant standards.
