About the Identium UHF RFID PCB Tag P0702-16

Long and slim rather than flat and wide, the PCB tag P0702-16 M750 measures just 7x1.6x1.6 mm, a pencil-lead cross-section that drops into a drilled hole in a tool shank or a fitting boss. Identium builds it on the M750 chip with a rated on-metal read range of up to 15 cm, deliberately short so it identifies the one item under the reader instead of everything in the drawer. Indian toolrooms, hydraulic workshops and dental practices choose this form factor where there is no flat face to bond a disc onto at all.

Key specifications

Best-fit applications

• Drill bit shanks and milling cutters in a CNC toolroom
• Spanners and hand tools with a drilled boss or handle hole
• Hydraulic and pneumatic fittings too round for a flat tag
• Dental handpieces and slim instruments on a sterilisation cycle
• Lock cylinders, keys and small security fittings
• Mould inserts and die components in a plastics workshop

Mounting, encoding and reading notes

Drill a pocket slightly larger than the 1.6 mm cross-section, seat the tag with its long axis along the tool, and pot it with epoxy so the top face is flush with the surrounding metal. Do not bury it under a metal cap. With 15 cm of rated range this is a point-and-read tag: use a desktop UHF reader at the issue counter or bring the handheld nose to the tool. Commission the EPC before the item enters service, and record which end of the tool carries the tag so operators scan the right end.

Why buy from Identium

Identium has manufactured RFID hardware since 2010 and the P0702-16 is made in India, tuned for the Indian 865-868 MHz allocation, which matches ETSI 865-868 MHz, so the same part works for EU, UK, GCC and African deployments. Bulk and OEM quotes, custom encoding and evaluation samples are available. See more on-metal RFID tags or check export fit in our ETSI 865-868 MHz compatibility guide.

Frequently asked questions

What is the read range of the Identium P0702-16 UHF RFID PCB tag?

The Identium P0702-16 micro UHF RFID PCB tag reads up to 15 cm on metal, which suits close-range handheld scanning. Its 7 by 1.6 by 1.6 mm body is built with the M750 chip and follows EPC Class 1 Gen2 / ISO 18000-6C across 860 to 960 MHz.

Where is such a tiny on-metal RFID tag used?

The P0702-16 micro UHF RFID PCB tag is used for on-metal tracking of hand tools, small instruments and metal assets where space is extremely limited. At 7 by 1.6 by 1.6 mm it can be inserted into drilled pockets or narrow slots in metal parts.

Does this micro RFID tag work on India's UHF frequency?

Yes. The P0702-16 UHF RFID PCB tag covers 860 to 960 MHz, which includes India's 865 to 868 MHz RFID band approved by WPC and licence-free within notified power limits. It reads with any EPC Class 1 Gen2 handheld or fixed reader used in India.

Can I order these micro PCB tags in bulk with custom encoding?

Yes, the P0702-16 micro UHF RFID PCB tag is supplied in bulk with custom encoding of asset or serial numbers on request. Pricing is quantity based, so check the listed price or ask for a bulk quote from India RFID Store, an Indian RFID manufacturer shipping pan-India.
