RFID Reader Modules

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: Refers to how the memory can be accessed and used.

Frequency: The center frequency or frequency range the device is able to support.

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’s device packaging. Typically it is best to check the actual dimensions from the datasheet rather than depend on this terminology when designing your circuit.
