If you want to integrate RFID technology into existing devices to check consumables, find counterfeit spare parts in a machine or identify users, you sometimes don’t have the space on your PCB for a complete reader. Often only a few square centimeters are available to fit all required RFID functions. For these cases, the Dwarf15 RFID module is exactly the right product.
With a size of only 18 x 32 mm, the module sets a new standard for the miniaturization of RFID readers. Despite its size, the module offers performance comparable to much larger RFID readers. With the right antenna, even a read range of 150 mm can be achieved.
With these production-ready SMD modules, you get tested hardware and firmware with an extremely short time to market. If you need a different form factor or new functions, a custom module is always an option.
