A flexible circular 15 mm NTAG213 tag for OEM NFC identification, with a listed phone reading distance of 20 mm.
PF-120 is a round FPC NFC tag for equipment and objects that need an embedded, close-presentation identifier. It uses an NTAG213 chip at 13.56 MHz and has a listed diameter of 15 mm. The small circular footprint is useful when the mechanical design has a round pocket rather than space for a card-sized credential.
The published NFC-phone distance is 20 mm. That figure is given without a phone model, antenna position or encapsulation stack, so verify it in the assembled product. No separate fixed-reader or handheld-reader distance is stated for this configuration. The tag should be selected for the intended phone interaction rather than a distance assumption taken from a UHF sibling.
The FPC construction is described as flexible and suitable for embedding in silicone or plastic. No thickness, minimum bend radius or molding conditions are specified. The general description mentions heat, pressure and corrosion resistance, but it does not provide numerical limits or an ingress grade; qualification of the final assembly remains necessary.
For an OEM order, provide the available diameter and where the user will present a phone. Approve the complete tag position, covering material and reading behavior using a sample. Confirm the data format and capacity needed by the application before commissioning encoding, as the supplied product record identifies the chip but does not give a memory table or programming specification.

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 listed diameter is 15 mm. No thickness is supplied.
The listed distance is 20 mm. The phone and surrounding materials are not identified for that measurement.
The specified chip is NTAG213, operating at 13.56 MHz.
No. The FPC tag is described as flexible, but a numerical bend radius and processing limits are not provided.
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.
