Overview

What the IDTS-D05 micro on-metal RFID tag is for

Some items on an asset register are simply too small for a normal tag: a dial gauge, a socket, a drill chuck, a mould insert. The IDTS-D05 is a 5 mm round PCB disc, 4 mm high at its dome, that still works when fixed directly to steel or aluminium. It lets those small items carry the same UHF identity as the larger equipment around them.

Expect close-range reads

An antenna this small cannot match a bar tag for distance. The listed range is about 0.5 m on metal, so plan for an operator to bring a handheld reader close to each item, for example at a tool crib counter or a calibration bench. Short range also helps avoid reading neighbouring items by mistake. If the item has room for a slightly larger disc, the 8 mm IDTS-D08 is listed at about 1.5 m.

Fixing a tag with no hole

The D05 has no mounting hole. Micro tags of this kind are usually bonded with an industrial adhesive or set into a shallow pocket in the part so the dome sits flush and protected. Trial your method on a sample before tagging a full tool set. Other sizes are listed under PCB and ceramic RFID tags.

Typical applications

  • Hand tools
  • Calibration gauges
  • Measuring instruments
  • Small dies and inserts
  • Valves and couplings
  • MRO spare parts

Frequently asked questions

How small is the IDTS-D05?
It is 5 mm in diameter and 4 mm thick at the highest point of its dome, small enough for tools, gauges and fittings where even a 10 mm tag would not fit.
How far away can it be read?
It is listed at about 0.5 m when mounted on metal, depending on the reader, antenna and power. Treat it as a close-range tag, read item by item with a handheld reader.
How do I attach it?
There is no mounting hole, so it has to be bonded or embedded. Choose an adhesive that suits the surface and working temperature, and test it on a sample part first.
Is it compatible with UHF readers used in India?
Yes. It is a passive ISO 18000-6C UHF tag covering 860–960 MHz, which includes India’s licence-exempt 865–868 MHz band.
Can it be encoded with our tool numbers?
Yes. The 128-bit EPC holds your tool or instrument number and the 96-bit TID is a unique factory ID. Samples are available to check fit and reading before you order in quantity.
