Product Description The 13.56MHz RFID Smart Card is a high-frequency contactless identification card widely used for secure access control, public transport ticketing, and loyalty programs. Based on the industry-standard MIFARE Classic 1K protocol, this card features 1KB of non-volatile memory divided into sectors and blocks, allowing for secure data storage and multiple application uses on a single card. The card is manufactured from high-quality, durable PVC with a smooth, glossy finish, making it suitable for high-quality thermal transfer or inkjet printing of photo IDs and logos. At Robogears, we recommend this card for its reliability and universal compatibility with almost all 13.56MHz RFID readers, including the popular RC522 and PN532 modules.
Key Highlights
Universal 13.56MHz Compatibility: Fully compatible with ISO 14443A standard readers, ensuring seamless integration into existing security systems.
Large 1KB Memory: Offers 1024 bytes of EEPROM storage, organized into 16 sectors for managing different types of user data or access permissions.
Contactless Convenience: Features a high-speed data transfer rate of 106 kbit/s, allowing users to simply tap or wave the card near a reader for instant verification.
Printable Surface: The standard CR80 credit card size and premium PVC finish allow for easy customization using standard ID card printers.
Secure Data Storage: Supports encrypted communication between the card and the reader to prevent unauthorized data cloning and eavesdropping.

Installation Tip from Robogears This card is a "Passive" RFID tag, meaning it does not require a battery; it draws power from the magnetic field of the RFID reader. If you are using this with an Arduino and an RC522 module, ensure your library is set to the correct frequency (13.56MHz), as 125kHz readers will not detect this card. To avoid signal interference, do not store these cards directly behind mobile phones or inside metallic wallets, as metal acts as an electromagnetic shield that blocks the reader's signal.
