About the Identium UHF RFID PCB Tag P2208-25

The Identium UHF RFID PCB Tag P2208-25 keeps the 22×8 mm footprint and raises the profile to 2.5 mm with a 2 mm mounting aperture — the version most buyers choose when the tag has to take a standard screw and survive knocks on a shop floor. Supplied by an anti-metal PCB RFID tag supplier in India, it carries a U8 chip and reads up to 200 cm mounted on steel or aluminium, so a single handheld pass can clear a whole bay of tagged equipment. Communication follows EPC Class 1 Gen2 / ISO 18000-6C on 860–960 MHz, a range that includes the 865-868 MHz Indian band and 865-868 MHz for ETSI installations.

Key specifications

Best-fit applications

• CNC tool holders, collets and cutter cassettes tracked in and out of a tool presetting room
• Welding sets, grinders and power tools on a rental fleet register
• Steel racking beams and cantilever arms recorded during warehouse safety audits
• Generator sets, compressors and site equipment moving between project locations
• Metal transformer housings and DG panels on a utility asset list

Mounting, encoding and reading notes

Drill a pilot hole in a flat, non-structural area and fasten the tag through its 2 mm aperture, adding a thread-locking compound where vibration is heavy. Do not trap the body under an oversized washer that covers the antenna, and never paint over it. Encoding is best done at a desktop reader before installation rather than overhead on a ladder. If reads look weak in a corner formed by two metal panels, relocate the tag to an outward-facing edge instead of turning reader power up.

Why buy from Identium

Manufacturing in New Delhi since 2010 means Identium can change chip, encoding and marking without going back through an importer. Volume and OEM orders, EPC and TID encoding and laser serialisation are standard requests, and samples ship before you commit. See the complete RFID PCB and ceramic tags line-up, and keep our RFID read troubleshooting guide to hand during commissioning.

Frequently asked questions

What is the read range of the Identium P2208-25 UHF RFID PCB tag?

The Identium P2208-25 UHF RFID PCB tag reads up to 200 cm on metal. Actual range depends on reader output power, antenna gain and the surface it is fixed to. The 22 by 8 by 2.5 mm tag uses the U8 chip and works on EPC Class 1 Gen2 / ISO 18000-6C.

Does this PCB tag work on metal without losing performance?

Yes, the P2208-25 is an on-metal UHF RFID PCB tag engineered to be read while mounted directly on metal. Ordinary paper and label tags detune against metal and fail to read, which is why anti-metal PCB tags are used for metal tools and equipment.

What applications is the P2208-25 RFID tag used for?

The P2208-25 on-metal UHF RFID PCB tag is used for on-metal tracking, tool tracking and asset management. Its 2 mm aperture allows screw or rivet mounting on metal assets, and its compact 22 by 8 mm body fits on hand tools, jigs and equipment panels.

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

The price of the P2208-25 anti-metal UHF RFID PCB tag in India depends on the quantity ordered, so refer to the listed price or request a bulk quote. India RFID Store is an Indian RFID manufacturer offering bulk and OEM pricing, custom encoding and samples.
