Description

Key Features:

✔ 125kHz RFID Detection – Reads EM4100, TK4100, and FDX-B tags (keycards, animal chips).
✔ UART (TTL) Output – Directly interfaces with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP8266/ESP32.
✔ Short-Range Reading – 5–10cm (depends on antenna tuning).
✔ Compact & Easy to Use – Onboard antenna + LED/buzzer feedback (varies by model).
✔ Low Power – Operates at 5V DC (~50mA current draw).
