A 6 × 6 mm NTAG213 FPC tag with a very close 3–5 mm listed NFC-phone read distance when placed on metal.
PF-130 is a micro FPC NFC tag for an object that has only a 6 × 6 mm area available for its identifier. It uses an NTAG213 chip at 13.56 MHz. The distinguishing specification is the stated NFC-phone distance on metal: 3–5 mm, which calls for deliberate, very close presentation of the phone to the tag location.
This configuration should be evaluated as a close-contact identifier for compact metal objects, rather than as a tag intended for readers several centimeters away. The published on-metal distance does not identify the phone model, metal substrate or mounting construction used in the test. Qualify the actual object and phone combination before making reading behavior part of the product's user instructions.
The substrate is FPC, and the family description says it can be embedded in silicone or plastic. Flexible construction is described, but thickness and minimum bend radius are absent. No backing material, adhesive specification or allowable process temperature is supplied for the on-metal assembly, so those details must be established before a production fit is approved.
In a sample evaluation, mark the intended presentation point and reproduce the final cover and mounting arrangement. Keep the requested data format with the mechanical brief: the chip is identified, but a numerical memory specification and encoding process are not included in this listing. The final order should define both the physical assembly and the reader interaction it has demonstrated.

| PF-130-N | 6 × 6 mm NTAG213 FPC NFC tag; listed phone distance 3–5 mm on metal |
Build an RFID asset tracking system: on-metal, ceramic and tie-on tags matched to each asset, handheld audits, smart cabinets and IP67 HF heads for tooling.
The stated distance on metal is 3–5 mm. Test the final object with the intended phone because the measurement setup is not identified.
The tag is 6 × 6 mm and uses NTAG213 at 13.56 MHz.
No backing or adhesive specification is provided. Confirm the supplied assembly before integrating it.
No numerical processing temperature is stated. The general resistance description does not establish a qualified molding or heat cycle.
Compare UHF RFID reader bands by country, including US, EU, UK, China, India and Japan. Understand ERP, EIRP, channel conditions and radio approvals.
Wire a UHF reader's D0, D1 and ground to your controller, match 26/34-bit Wiegand, size 12 V power and trigger the barrier by relay. Diagrams included.
Yes, RFID works on metal with tags built for it. See why metal detunes standard tags, compare ABS, PCB, ceramic and label tags, and test read range properly.
