This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the RFID Reader Modules category on DigiKey.com
RFID Reader Modules are an unfinished unit needing memory, a power supply, an antenna, a processor, and a case. The characteristics are type, frequency, interface, and package/case. The types are read or read/write with frequencies ranging from 125 kHz to 960 MHz and with an interface being Bluetooth, Ethernet, I2C, RS232, RS422, RS485, TTL, UART, or USB.
SelectionCharacteristics
Type: Identifies whether the memory is writeable or read only.
Frequency: The frequency or frequency range the device uses.
Interface: Indication of which interface(s) or protocol(s) are used by the device to communicate with other components in the system.
Standards: Indication of which standard(s) are used by relevant approval agencies.
Package / Case: Indicates the type of protective case used on an electronic component to allow easy handling, installation, and protection. This selection was determined to be the closest industry standard applicable to the supplier device packaging. Typically it is best to check the actual dimensions from the datasheet rather than depend on this terminology when designing your circuit.
Supplier Device Package: This is what the manufacturer calls the package of this device. They are manufacturer specific. It is typically best to use the actual dimensions from the datasheets rather than to go by this terminology when designing your circuit.
