This 13.56MHz Type C RFID card reader is built for front-desk staff, librarians, and office administrators who need fast, contactless card reading at indoor counters and reception desks. It uses a Type C connector to link with OTG-capable mobile phones, runs on 13.56MHz frequency, and reads MF, S50, S70, and other 14443A protocol cards. An ABS housing, 5V operating voltage, and 100mA current keep it steady for daily desk use. Each scan completes in about 0.2 seconds, so reception queues and library checkouts move faster without repeated swiping. The built-in 20dB buzzer confirms every successful read by sound, which helps operators working in noisy offices process cards without watching a screen. Front and back reading covers 0 to 30mm (0 to 1.2in); side reading covers 0 to 10mm (0 to 0.4in), fitting flat lapel cards and wall-mounted access tags. Unlike standard readers with limited angle coverage, this unit reads from front, back, and side using an RF receiving line and embedded microcontroller with a decoding algorithm, so card orientation matters less during high-volume check-in. It suits indoor desks and counters paired with an OTG-capable phone. It is not intended for outdoor installation, waterproof use, thick metal-cased cards, or direct connection to a computer without an OTG cable. Specifications:
