RFID Transponder Coils – 4308TC
Coilcraft’s new family of antenna coils are rugged, high
performance devices intended for RFID applications at
125 kHz.
These low profile parts have an extended length that
allows longer read ranges and higher sensitivity. The coil
is constructed of ferrite laminated onto a ceramic base,
which makes it more rugged and impact resistant than all-
ferrite constructions. An encapsulated top ensures reli-
able pick and place operations.
In addition to the standard models shown, Coilcraft can
design transponder coils designed to operate at other
frequencies.
Coilcraft
Designer’s Kit C145
contains four samples of
each value shown. To order, contact Coilcraft or visit
