Higgs-9 UHF RFID Inlay, 40 × 15.5 mm

Higgs-9 UHF RFID Inlay, 40 × 15.5 mm is a passive UHF RFID inlay for the 860–960 MHz RAIN RFID band. It pairs the Alien Higgs-9 chip with a 40 × 15.5 mm dipole antenna, a compact footprint for tags and labels with limited space.

Alien Higgs-9 provides up to 496-bit EPC (96-bit nominal), up to 688-bit user memory, 48-bit unique TID. Alien specifies a read sensitivity of up to −20 dBm and a write sensitivity of up to −18 dBm for the bare chip; the range of the finished tag also depends on the antenna, the reader and the tagged material. Datasheet highlights: Sentinel Memory (fixes single-bit and flags dual-bit errors), 200,000 write cycles, QuickWrite/BlastWrite and Dynamic Authentication.

We do not publish a read range for this design. Range depends on the reader, antenna, power and tagged material, so ask us for test data or samples for your setup.

It is typically used for apparel hang tags, care labels and price tickets. The application pages below give chip and size recommendations for each industry.

Order it as a dry inlay for your own converting, a wet inlay with adhesive and liner, or a finished label, blank or printed and EPC-encoded. We ship samples first so you can validate on your own items and readers, then quote the format you tested.
