About the Identium UHF RFID PCB Tag D10-16

The Identium UHF RFID PCB Tag D10-16 is a 10 mm disc-shaped on-metal tag made for assets that are too small and too metallic for an ordinary label. The D10x1.6 mm PCB body carries an M750 chip and is designed to sit directly against steel, aluminium or cast iron, where a paper or PET inlay would detune and go silent. Buyers looking for an RFID PCB tag D10-16 made in India usually have hand tools, small valves, fittings or instrument trays in mind, and this model answers that brief: a permanent EPC identity on a metal item, with a rated read range of up to 30 cm.

Key specifications

Best-fit applications

• Hand-tool cribs in automotive workshops and MSME machine shops
• Drill bits, end mills and cutter holders in a CNC toolroom
• Small pneumatic and hydraulic valves on packaging lines
• Surgical instrument trays in a hospital CSSD department
• Calibrated gauges and test jigs under ISO audit
• Padlocks, keys and cabinet fittings in a facility store

Mounting, encoding and reading notes

A PCB on-metal tag performs as intended only when it sits flat and hard against the metal, so bond the D10-16 with structural epoxy or an industrial double-sided adhesive, or drop it into a shallow milled pocket on tools that take impact. This model has no aperture, so plan an adhesive or recessed fit rather than a screw. Write the EPC with a desktop or handheld UHF reader before the tags are issued, present the flat face of the disc to the reader antenna, and keep adjacent tags spaced apart so the 30 cm figure holds in practice.

Why buy from Identium

Identium has built RFID hardware in India since 2010, and every PCB tag is made on our own line and tuned for the Indian 865-868 MHz allocation. That allocation matches the ETSI 865-868 MHz band, so the same part number exports to the EU, UK, GCC and Africa without a redesign. Ask us about bulk and OEM pricing, custom EPC encoding and a free sample before you commit. Browse the full RFID PCB and ceramic tag range or read our guide to choosing on-metal RFID tags.

Frequently asked questions

What is the read range of this small on-metal PCB RFID tag?

The Identium IDTS-D10-16 UHF RFID PCB tag reads up to 30 cm, which suits close-range identification of tools and small metal parts. It is a disc-shaped tag of only 10 mm diameter and 1.6 mm thickness, using the M750 chip on EPC Class 1 Gen 2 and ISO 18000-6C.

Does this PCB tag read when fixed on metal?

Yes. The IDTS-D10-16 is an on-metal UHF RFID PCB tag designed to keep reading when mounted directly on metal, where standard paper and label tags do not read reliably. It is used for tool tracking, on-metal asset tracking and equipment management in India.

Is this UHF RFID tag compatible with Indian readers?

Yes. The IDTS-D10-16 PCB tag operates across 860-960 MHz, which covers India's UHF RFID band of 865-868 MHz, approved by WPC and licence-free within notified power limits. It follows EPC Class 1 Gen 2 and ISO 18000-6C, so it works with standard UHF readers.

Can I order small on-metal RFID tags in bulk in India?

Yes. India RFID Store supplies D10 on-metal UHF RFID PCB tags in bulk with custom encoding, and samples for fitment testing on your own tools. Pricing depends on quantity, so check the listed price on this page or request bulk and OEM pricing with pan-India shipping.
