KSW Microtec advances RFID inlays
Outstanding life cycle test results by KSW Microtec AG, one of the world's leading suppliers of RFID components and inlays for secure cards and eDocuments, have proven an advanced line of RFID inlays that meet label requirements in fields where label longevity of at least 10 years, is paramount. These results are specifically relevant to the company's range of standard inlays for asset management label applications for storage and archiving, where high durability and reliability of inlays are important. Libraries and museums, with extremely long durability expectations, are typical areas of adoption.
A key benefit for long lasting storage is KSW Microtec's advanced flip chip interconnects using a technology for highly reliable RFID applications, which fulfils all electrical requirements of characteristic applications after typical environmental tests up to 1 000 hours.
Test results showed:
- Tag performance and the Q-Factor of the RFID inlays had optimum stable measurement values after environmental storages of 1000 hours at high temperatures of 85°C, low temperatures of -40°C and humidity storage at 85°C 85 percent r.H. as well as and 1 000 temperature cycles of -40°C / 85°C.
- Advanced flip chip interconnects allow highly reliable bonds, which KSW has implemented into the manufacturing process for durable and reliable inlays.
KSW Microtec's product range provides a wide variety of HF inlays (ISO 14443 / ISO 15693) and UHF products (ISO 18000-6c) for different standardized and customer specific requirements. As part of the company's on-going testing and development processes, KSW verifies and qualifies different products, such as ID1 and ID/2 antenna, as well as those with an antenna diameter 36mm and 110mm, to meet the demands and requirements of its customers, especially in the library market.
These inlays, along with KSW¹s Thinlam® product range for highly secure applications, will be shown by KSW Microtec at Cartes & Identification 2011, Paris November 15 -17, in Hall 3 on booth C057.
