NXP HITAG S256 / S2048 RFID Cards for OEM Projects

Our HITAG S RFID cards are manufactured with NXP HITAG S256 or S2048 ICs for LF identification applications.

HITAG S256 provides 256 bits of total read/write memory, while HITAG S2048 provides 2048 bits. Both use the HITAG S protocol and operate in the 100–150 kHz frequency range.

Choose the memory option according to your application, card data requirements and existing reader infrastructure.

Sample & Mass Production

Approve the Sample Before Bulk Production

For customized RFID card projects, we recommend confirming the card specification before mass production.

Typical Process

1. Send Requirements
Chip, quantity, dimensions, material, artwork and encoding requirements.

2. Specification Review
Our team confirms card construction and production requirements.

3. Sample / Proof
A sample or proof can be arranged according to the project.

4. Customer Approval
Confirm design, material, card construction and encoding requirements.

5. Mass Production
Production follows the approved specification.

6. QC & Shipment
Finished cards are inspected and packed before shipment.

This process helps reduce the risk of differences between the approved sample and bulk production.
