IDTS-1504 UHF Anti-Metal PCB RFID Tag 15x4x3.5mm Screw-Mount Micro Tag for Tools & IT Assets

The IDTS-1504 is a fingertip-sized UHF on-metal (anti-metal) RFID tag built on a PCB substrate. At just 15 x 4 mm with a 3.5 mm profile, it is a slim rectangular bar designed to be screwed directly onto metal parts that are far too small for a conventional hard tag. Two through-holes, one at each end, let you fix it permanently to tools, fixtures and equipment where an adhesive or cable-tie tag would not survive daily handling.

Key Specifications

• SKU: IDTS-1504
• Product type: UHF on-metal (anti-metal) RFID tag
• Chip: U8 (as specified)
• Protocol: ISO18000-6C
• Frequency: 860-960 MHz (global UHF band); India operates in the 865-867 MHz de-licensed band
• EPC memory: 128 bits
• TID memory: 96 bits
• Read distance: approx. 1 m on metal
• Material: PCB
• Dimensions: 15 x 4 x 3.5 mm - a 15 x 4 mm footprint, with the 3.5 mm thickness measured at the highest point (the raised black dome over the chip)
• Shape: small rectangular bar / stick
• Colour: black with green PCB edge
• Mounting: two through-holes for screw mounting, one at each end of the bar (hole diameter is not specified for this model)
• Operating temperature: -20 C to +150 C
• Anti-metal: yes - intended for use mounted on metal surfaces

Applications

• Tool crib and hand-tool tracking - spanners, torque tools, dies and gauges that must be issued and returned by the shift
• Jigs, fixtures, moulds and tooling in manufacturing plants, where the tag must ride on the steel body itself
• Calibration and instrument control - identifying small metal instruments and test equipment on a due-date register
• IT asset audits - tagging laptop chassis, server rails, switches and rack accessories where only a narrow metal edge is available
• Electrical panels, switchgear parts and utility hardware that need a permanently screwed-on identity rather than a printed sticker
• Small machined components, valves and fittings moving through pharma and process-industry maintenance workflows
• Railway and rolling-stock small parts - brackets, couplers and line-side hardware carrying an individual asset number

Why Choose This Tag

• Genuinely miniature. A 15 x 4 mm footprint fits on narrow shanks, brackets and edges where larger anti-metal tags simply will not sit - it is small enough to hold on a fingertip.
• Built for metal. This is an anti-metal construction and is rated at approx. 1 m read on metal, so the surface that normally kills UHF performance is the surface it is made for.
• Mechanically fixed, not stuck on. Two through-holes, one at each end, allow a screwed mount that stays with the asset through handling, cleaning and re-issue.
• Wide thermal window. An operating range of -20 C to +150 C suits tooling and equipment that sees process heat as well as cold-store and outdoor yard conditions.
• Standards-based and audit-ready. ISO18000-6C with 128-bit EPC and 96-bit TID works with the standard UHF handhelds and fixed readers already used across Indian warehouses, plants and IT asset audits.

Read range figures are typical values measured on a metal surface and will vary in practice with the reader and antenna used, transmit power, the size and shape of the metal object the tag is mounted on, and the surrounding environment. We recommend a sample trial on your own asset before bulk deployment.
