HF | NFC RFID reader modules are compact OEM modules for integration into your own devices and systems. Operating at 13.56 MHz in line with ISO 14443, ISO 15693 and the NFC Forum specifications, they enable fast, secure contactless data capture – ideal for embedded applications, mobile devices and industrial reading points.

Function and integration

A reader module powers the transponder via an electromagnetic field and reads the stored data through inductive coupling – including multiple tags simultaneously. Thanks to a compact form factor, low power consumption and interfaces such as USB (PC/SC, HID, VCP), TTL/UART, Wiegand or Ethernet, the modules integrate easily into existing electronics. Available with internal or external antennas.

Typical applications

  • Access control & PC login – authentication in terminals and HMI/industrial PCs
  • Payment & vending machines – contactless payment systems and vending
  • Medical technology & point of care – secure identification inside devices
  • Kiosks & EV charging – activation and user identification

How to choose the right reader module

The decisive factors are the interface to the host electronics (USB, TTL/UART, Wiegand, Ethernet), the antenna solution (internal or external), the supported transponders, plus size and power consumption. As a value-added distributor and system integrator, we advise you vendor-independently – from module selection to integration into your embedded design.
