HF Card Inlay (13.56 MHz) Types
1 HF inlay specifications
Operating frequency 13.56MHz (ISO/IEC 14443A, ISO/IEC 15693). Substrate PVC (standard), PET, PC or PETG. Thickness 0.40-0.50 mm. Antenna 73-44 mm etched aluminium (standard), copper-etched or wire-wound for high-Q builds. RF resonance 14.3-0.3MHz, custom tuning available. Layouts from 2-5 (10 per sheet) to 6-8 (48 per sheet); sheet size up to 640-520 mm.
2 How the HF inlay reaches your card line
Automatic wire implanting and reasonable COB design give consistent frequency across the sheet, and automatic spot-welding keeps the antenna-to-chip joint stable. Chip-shelter processing and high-temperature steel-plate lamination hold the inlay flat, so cards laminate cleanly and rarely peel. Every sheet is 100% electrically tested marginal units are marked before they reach your press.
