UHF On-Metal RFID PCB Tag IDTS-1307 (13 × 7 mm, Two-Hole Mount)

A small on-metal UHF RFID tag that reads at 2.5 m

The IDTS-1307 measures 13 × 7 mm, 3 mm thick at the body and 4.3 mm over the epoxy dome that protects the chip. Its quoted read distance is approx. 2.5 m on metal. Compared with approx. 1.5 m for the 12 × 4 mm IDTS-1204, that is a real step up for a tag still small enough to sit on a fingertip, provided the asset offers a flat face about 7 mm wide.

Screw or rivet it in place

A copper-rimmed 2 mm hole at each end takes fixings sized for that hole, such as small rivets or pins, so the tag stays with the asset through cleaning and daily handling instead of depending on adhesive. That suits hand tools, jig plates, panel doors and the side rails of servers and switches.

Where 2.5 m makes a difference

In an IT asset audit, a tag on each chassis can often be read with a handheld from the front of the rack. In a tool crib, one pass along a shadow board confirms which tools are back. The U8 chip's 128-bit EPC takes your asset number and the 96-bit TID gives a fixed factory serial. For audit planning, see our fixed asset audit guide, or compare sizes in the PCB tag range.
