KSW Microtec Introduces Contactless Credit Card Inlays In Sheet Format

KSW Microtec, one of the world's leading suppliers of RFID components, introduces contactless credit card inlays in sheet format that expand manufacturing options for card makers.

The new inlays provide the same quality and performance as KSW's inlays for reel-to-sheet manufacturing, already proven by more than 20 million contactless credit cards in the US market alone.

Thanks to KSW's special PET substrate, the new sheet inlays can be directly laminated into PVC layers for fast, reliable and cost-effective card production. The ICs on the RFID inlays are attached using KSW's palladium bump technology, which generates an extremely reliable connection between chip and the aluminum antenna for a long inlay life span.

KSW's new inlays are available in several sheet formats and with a range of different microcontrollers. KSW also offers the inlays with customized antennas and sheet form factors.

The advantages offered by the new sheet inlays to contactless credit card manufacturers are also available to UHF card suppliers. KSW provides UHF RFID inlays in sheet format for conversion into UHF PVC cards. Applications include border crossing and other long read range access control solutions.

KSW inlays are shipped using specially-designed packaging for safe transport and maximum product integrity and reliability.
