Get one of each of our top - pick 13.56MHz RFID/NFC Classic 1K tags, a total of 5 tags in the set! It includes a credit - card - sized tag, a 1 - inch diameter clear 'laundry' tag, a 1 - inch diameter white 'laundry' tag, a key fob, and a sticker. These tags can be read by nearly all 13.56MHz RFID/NFC readers. But remember, ensure your reader can handle different cards as there are other encoding standards like FeLica. They've been tested and work super well with our PN532 NFC/RFID breakout board and Adafruit NFC/RFID Shield for Arduino. These chips are writable and can store up to 1 KB of data in their EEPROM, divided into banks. They can withstand over 100,000 re - writes. You can use our PN532 NFC/RFID breakout board or Adafruit NFC/RFID Shield for Arduino to read and write data to the tag's EEPROM. Each chip has a permanent 4 - byte ID that can't be changed, helping you tell one tag from another. These tags use an ISO/IEC 14443 Type A chipset, the once - 'classic' NFC chipset. Since around 2014, the NFC forum stopped supporting it, so newer phones won't work with these tags. This only matters if you plan to use the tag with a phone or tablet.
Using these tags is easy. First, if you want to read or write data, you can use our PN532 NFC/RFID breakout board or Adafruit NFC/RFID Shield for Arduino. Just connect the board or shield to your device and follow the normal procedures for data transfer. When it comes to using the tags with a reader, most 13.56MHz RFID/NFC readers can handle them, but make sure your reader can support other encoding standards too. One important thing to note is that newer phones won't work with these tags because of the chipset type. For maintenance, keep the tags away from extreme heat, moisture, and strong magnetic fields. They are quite durable and can handle over 100,000 re - writes, but treat them gently to ensure a long lifespan. Also, remember that each tag has a unique, unchangeable 4 - byte ID, which you can use to identify different tags.
