FAQ
What are contact RFID cards?
They are cards designed for systems that require physical contact between the card and reader interface.
How are contact cards different from contactless cards?
Contact cards require physical reader contact, while contactless cards communicate without direct contact. Your reader system determines the correct option.
Can contact cards be custom printed?
Yes. Contact card projects can often include custom artwork, numbering and other personalization depending on requirements.
What information is needed for compatibility?
Share the reader model, existing card type, chip requirement and target application so the card can be matched correctly.
What is a contact IC card?
A contact IC card has a visible metal chip that must physically touch a card reader's contact pins to communicate, unlike contactless cards which communicate wirelessly. Contact cards are used in some payment, SIM and secure ID systems.
Are contact cards more secure than contactless cards?
Security depends on the chip and system design rather than the contact or contactless distinction alone. Both can support encrypted chips; confirm your security requirement so a suitable chip can be recommended.
Can contact cards be combined with contactless technology?
Yes, dual-interface contact cards combine a contact chip with a contactless antenna in one card, supporting both interface types for systems that require both.
What materials are available for contact RFID cards?
Common materials include PVC and PET, with other customizable options available depending on durability and printing requirements for your project.
