IDTS-1307 UHF On-Metal PCB RFID Tag 13 x 7 mm, +150 C, for Tools, IT Assets & Jigs

The IDTS-1307 is a fingertip-sized passive UHF on-metal (anti-metal) RFID tag built on a black PCB body, shaped as a small rectangular bar with a mounting hole at each end and a central domed epoxy bump over the chip area. At 13 x 7 mm it goes where a large asset plate simply will not fit — the side of a hand tool, the chassis rail of a network switch, the flat of a jig — and still returns a read of approx. 2.5 m on metal.

Applications

• Tool cribs and MRO stores — issue-and-return tracking of spanners, torque tools, drill bodies and other hand tools where the tag has to sit on a narrow metal face.
• IT asset audits — servers, switches, routers, UPS units and rack hardware, where a small tag on the metal chassis lets an audit team sweep a rack row without opening it.
• Jigs, fixtures, moulds and dies — identification of tooling that moves between machining bays, stores and process areas within the stated -20 C to +150 C window.
• Manufacturing work-in-progress — small metal sub-assemblies, castings and machined parts tracked from station to station on the shop floor.
• Electrical panels and switchgear — tagging distribution boxes, feeder panels and utility enclosures so inspection rounds are logged against the right unit.
• Gas cylinder fittings and valve collars — the compact footprint suits the small flat areas found on valve guards, regulators and manifold hardware.
• Pharma, laboratory and hospital equipment — stainless trolleys, instrument racks and fixed lab equipment that need a permanent, screw-fixed identity.

Why Choose This Tag

• Made for metal, not adapted to it. The IDTS-1307 is an anti-metal construction, so mounting it directly on a steel or aluminium surface is the intended use — giving approx. 2.5 m on metal rather than the detuned result you get from a plain label.
• A footprint that actually fits. A 13 x 7 mm body, 3 mm thick (4.3 mm over the dome), opens up tools, panels and equipment chassis that larger on-metal tags cannot be placed on at all.
• Wide thermal window. Rated from -20 C to +150 C, it covers cold stores at one end and hot process areas at the other without needing a different tag for each zone.
• Bolt it down once. Two copper-rimmed 2 mm holes, one at each end, allow a mechanical fixing that stays with the asset through cleaning, handling and years of service.
• Standards-based and audit-ready. ISO18000-6C with 128-bit EPC and a 96-bit TID lets you run your own asset numbering in EPC while relying on the factory TID as an unchangeable reference during audits.

Read range figures are typical values measured on a metal surface. Actual performance varies with the reader and antenna used, transmit power, antenna orientation, the mounting surface and the surrounding environment. We recommend a sample trial in your own application before bulk deployment.
