About the Identium UHF RFID PCB Tag P0905-16

Small enough for an instrument bezel, big enough to be useful at a counter: the P0905-16 is Identium's R6P UHF PCB tag India buyers pick for compact electronic and medical assets. The rectangular 9x5x1.6 mm body is built to sit on metal and is rated up to 30 cm, which covers a desk-side scan or a shelf check without sweeping in the neighbouring device. Its straight-edged footprint suits the narrow bezels of laptops, meters, regulators and lab instruments better than a round disc, and it leaves room for a printed asset number beside it.

Key specifications

Best-fit applications

• Laptops, tablets and docking hardware in an IT asset register
• Laboratory analysers and benchtop instruments under calibration control
• Patient monitors and small medical devices moved between wards
• Gas regulators, pressure gauges and flow meters in a plant
• Hand tools and measuring instruments issued from a store
• Energy meters and CT units held in a utility inventory

Mounting, encoding and reading notes

Choose a flat metal panel, degrease it and bond the tag with industrial double-sided adhesive or epoxy; this model has no aperture, so there is no screw option. Align the long edge with the panel edge to keep the fit tidy and repeatable across a fleet. Load the EPC on a desktop reader while the device is being commissioned, and pair each tag with a printed asset number for manual fallback. At 30 cm of rated range, cut handheld power in a dense equipment room so you read the unit in front of you.

Frequently asked questions

What is the read range of the Identium P0905-16 on-metal RFID tag?

The Identium P0905-16 UHF RFID PCB tag reads up to 30 cm when mounted on metal. Actual range depends on reader power, antenna gain and the metal surface. The 9 by 5 by 1.6 mm tag uses the R6P chip and the EPC Class 1 Gen2 / ISO 18000-6C protocol.

Does this small PCB tag read on metal surfaces?

Yes, the P0905-16 is an on-metal UHF RFID PCB tag that keeps reading when fixed directly on metal. Paper and label RFID tags do not perform reliably on metal, so this compact anti-metal tag is used for tool tracking and small asset management in India.

Which readers is this UHF RFID tag compatible with?

The P0905-16 UHF RFID PCB tag works with any EPC Class 1 Gen2 / ISO 18000-6C reader, handheld or fixed. It operates across 860 to 960 MHz, which includes the 865 to 868 MHz band approved by WPC for RFID use in India.

What is the price of small UHF RFID on-metal tags in India?

The price of the P0905-16 small on-metal UHF RFID PCB tag in India depends on order quantity, so check the price listed on this page or request a bulk quote. India RFID Store is a BIS and WPC certified Indian manufacturer offering bulk and OEM pricing.
