IDTS-5010 UHF On-Metal PCB Bar Tag 50 x 10 x 3.5 mm | Anti-Metal Asset Tag for Tools, Racks & Panels

The IDTS-5010 is a UHF on-metal (anti-metal) RFID tag built as a black-coated PCB bar measuring 50 mm x 10 mm, with a mounting hole at each end and a central raised chip encapsulation dot. The narrow bar form is aimed at the metal assets that defeat ordinary paper and label tags - rack rails, panel doors, machine frames, valve bodies and tool shanks - where you want a mechanically fixed identity that a handheld reader can pick up from approx. 3.5 m on metal.

Applications

• Tool crib and calibration control - spanners, torque tools, jigs, dies and fixtures issued and returned across shifts, where the 50 x 10 mm bar fits along a handle or shank.
• IT asset audits - server rack uprights, switches, patch panels and UPS cabinets, tagged on the narrow rail faces where a square on-metal tag will not sit.
• Electrical panels and utility assets - distribution boards, switchgear cubicles, feeder pillars and metering enclosures on periodic inspection rounds.
• Plant maintenance rounds - pipework, valves, cable trays, pumps and motor bodies, read from the aisle with a handheld reader instead of hunting for a printed number plate.
• Returnable metal handling equipment - steel trolleys, roll cages, stillages and bins moving between plant, warehouse and vendor.
• Railway and rolling-stock maintenance items - depot equipment, brackets and line-side metal assets that need a durable, screwed-on identity.
• Pharma and food-grade manufacturing - stainless-steel machine parts, change parts and equipment frames covered by GMP asset registers.

Why Choose This Tag

• Built to be read on metal. This is an anti-metal PCB tag, not a general-purpose inlay, and it delivers approx. 3.5 m on metal - enough to cover a warehouse aisle or a row of racks with a handheld.
• A shape that fits where square tags cannot. At 50 mm long and only 10 mm wide, with a 3.5 mm maximum height, it sits along rack rails, flanges, panel edges and tool bodies that leave no room for a bulky block tag.
• Mechanically fixed, not stuck on. Two 3.2 mm holes at 44 mm centres let you fasten the tag through both ends, so it stays put on assets that are handled or moved constantly.
• Wide operating temperature. A rated range of -20 C to +150 C suits cold storage areas at one end and hot process and engine-adjacent locations at the other.
• Standards-based numbering. ISO18000-6C with 128-bit EPC gives you room for your own asset numbering scheme, while the 96-bit TID provides a second reference field during stock takes and audits.

Read range figures are typical, not guaranteed maximums: actual performance varies with the reader and antenna used, transmit power, tag orientation, the metal surface the tag is mounted on and surrounding site conditions. Please validate against your own reader setup before large-volume deployment.
