About the Identium UHF RFID PCB Tag P2208-20

A paper label stops working the moment it touches steel; a purpose-built on-metal body does not. The Identium UHF RFID PCB Tag P2208-20 puts a U8 chip on a 22×8×2 mm rigid PCB with a 1.5 mm mounting aperture, and returns up to 200 cm of range from a tag narrow enough to sit along a spanner shank or a pipe fitting. As an anti-metal PCB RFID tag supplier in India we qualify it fixed directly to steel, aluminium and cast iron surfaces. The air interface is EPC Class 1 Gen2 / ISO 18000-6C over 860–960 MHz, which spans 865-868 MHz here and 865-868 MHz in ETSI markets.

Key specifications

Best-fit applications

• Pipe spools, valves and flanges tagged for turnaround inspection in refineries and chemical plants
• Socket sets, spanners and pneumatic tools issued from an MRO store
• Motor and pump nameplate points on a rotating equipment register
• Steel pallets, stillages and trolleys moving between plant and vendor
• Metal tote bins and material handling frames on a shop floor route
• Electrical busbar chambers and switchgear cubicles under statutory inspection

Mounting, encoding and reading notes

The 1.5 mm aperture takes a fine machine screw or a small blind rivet. On a curved surface such as a pipe, fit a flat shim or bracket beneath the tag so the board is never forced to bow. Where fasteners are ruled out, epoxy is acceptable provided the underside stays in full contact with the asset. Program the U8 chip at a desktop reader and print a matching human-readable serial for the register. In a crowded pipe rack, sweep the handheld across the tag face instead of aiming at its edge.

Frequently asked questions

What is the read range of the Identium P2208-20 UHF RFID PCB tag?

The Identium P2208-20 UHF RFID PCB tag reads up to 200 cm when mounted on metal. Range in the field depends on reader power, antenna gain and the metal surface. The 22 by 8 by 2 mm tag uses the U8 chip and EPC Class 1 Gen2 / ISO 18000-6C.

How is this on-metal PCB tag mounted?

The P2208-20 on-metal UHF RFID PCB tag has a 1.5 mm aperture, so it can be screwed or riveted onto a metal asset, and industrial adhesive is an option where drilling is not possible. This suits tool tracking, equipment tracking and asset management applications.

Is this UHF RFID tag usable on the Indian frequency?

Yes. The P2208-20 UHF RFID PCB tag covers 860 to 960 MHz, which includes the 865 to 868 MHz UHF RFID band approved by WPC in India and licence-free within notified power limits. It reads with any EPC Class 1 Gen2 reader sold in India.

Can I buy these anti-metal RFID tags in bulk in India?

Yes, the P2208-20 anti-metal UHF RFID PCB tag is available in bulk with custom encoding on request. The unit price depends on quantity, so check the listed price or ask for a bulk quote. India RFID Store is a BIS and WPC certified Indian manufacturer shipping pan-India.
