HID FIT Ceramic RFID Tags

Miniature tags that can be mounted or embedded discreetly onto tools, equipment, medical instruments and more.

HID FIT Ceramic Tag passive contactless transponders easily integrate into RFID applications requiring discreet placement of small, featherweight tags that deliver sustainable performance.

FIT Ceramic units are optimized for placement on metal assets, such as tools, weaponry and surgical instrumentation. The hard shells encasing these tiny UHF transponders shield them from exposure to autoclave sterilization and demanding industrial environments.

Options in this range boast the highest size to performance ratio in the industry and are some of the smallest, lowest profile RFID tags on the market. The range offers the flexibility of on/off metal performance and the ability to embed at the point of manufacture while surviving cycling applications at temperatures of up to 235o C (455o F).

With a read range of up to 13.1 ft (4m), these tags deliver an excellent size / performance ratio when placed on metallic objects. The FIT ceramic tags are typically embedded or affixed with industrial glue or Epoxy glob top. Alternative tag options include versions with sticker (up to 85°C) or ATEX/IECEx,/C1D1 certification. These tags are an ideal, cost-effective solution for consistency during the rigors of auto and other types of manufacturing, specifically through paint shops and processes.

A range of tags that allow you to identify and track individual vehicles, tools or small items of equipment through a variety of manufacturing processes from assembly to painting, welding or molding and in a range of industries including healthcare or even covert surveillance.

For the special case of long-thin metallic objects like surgical instruments, the the sleek (2x2x12, 15 or 27mm) Sentry Instrument Tags may be an alternative option to suit your needs. See separate datasheet for the HID Sentry Family.
