About the Identium UHF RFID PCB Tag P2509-25

A tool crib needs a tag that reads across the room yet still fits on a slim shank. The Identium UHF RFID PCB Tag P2509-25 balances the two with a 25×9×2.5 mm rigid PCB body, an NXP M4QT chip and up to 200 cm of read range from a metal surface, which makes it a dependable RFID PCB tag for tool tracking in India. This variant has no mounting hole, so it is bonded rather than bolted — useful on hardened or thin-walled items you would rather not drill. It operates to EPC Class 1 Gen2 / ISO 18000-6C throughout 860–960 MHz, so the same tag answers a 865-868 MHz Indian reader and a 865-868 MHz ETSI one.

Key specifications

Best-fit applications

• Drill bits, reamers and cutter bodies issued from a tool store against a job card
• Hardened gauges and slip blocks that must not be drilled for a fastener
• Thin-walled metal enclosures and control boxes on a plant register
• Aluminium ladders, trestles and access equipment on a site inspection list
• Metal trolleys, IV stands and equipment carts in a hospital biomedical inventory
• Aircraft ground support tooling checked in and out of a bonded store

Mounting, encoding and reading notes

Bonding is the whole job on this variant. Strip oil and dust from the mounting patch, let it dry completely, then use a two-part epoxy in hot or oily areas and a high-strength pad on clean indoor equipment. The full underside must sit on the metal and clear of curved shoulders; on a round shank, add a small flat bracket rather than forcing the board to conform. Encode the M4QT chip at a desktop reader beforehand and log the TID next to the EPC, so a cloned tag shows up at the next audit.

Why buy from Identium

Identium has been making RFID in India since 2010, and tooling that moves between plants keeps reading wherever it lands. We quote volume and OEM quantities, encode to your tool numbering scheme and send samples before any commitment.

Frequently asked questions

How far does the Identium P2509-25 UHF RFID PCB tag read?

The Identium P2509-25 UHF RFID PCB tag reads up to 200 cm on metal. Actual range depends on reader power, antenna gain and the metal surface it is fixed to. The 25 by 9 by 2.5 mm tag uses the M4QT chip and EPC Class 1 Gen2 / ISO 18000-6C.

Is the P2509-25 an on-metal RFID tag?

Yes, the P2509-25 is an on-metal UHF RFID PCB tag made to be mounted directly on metal tools, machines and assets. Standard paper and label RFID tags do not read reliably on metal, so an anti-metal PCB tag is required for metal asset tracking.

Does this tag work with Indian UHF RFID readers?

Yes. The P2509-25 UHF RFID PCB tag covers 860 to 960 MHz, which includes the 865 to 868 MHz band approved by WPC for RFID in India and licence-free within notified power limits. It reads with any EPC Class 1 Gen2 handheld or fixed reader.

Can I order these RFID PCB tags in bulk in India?

Yes, the P2509-25 UHF RFID PCB tag is available in bulk with custom encoding on request. Pricing depends on quantity, so check the listed price or ask for a bulk quote. India RFID Store is an Indian RFID manufacturer offering samples and pan-India shipping.
