Higgs-9 UHF RFID Inlay, 93 × 19 mm, 28.575 mm pitch

Higgs-9 UHF RFID Inlay, 93 × 19 mm, 28.575 mm pitch is a passive UHF RFID inlay for the 860–960 MHz RAIN RFID band. It pairs the Alien Higgs-9 chip with a 93 × 19 mm dipole antenna, a long footprint that favours read range on cartons, pallets and larger items.

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.

It is supplied on rolls at a 28.575 mm pitch (the repeat distance between inlays), which matters when your applicator or printer is set up for a fixed pitch. Reference read range: up to 14 m (lab reference, fixed reader). Real-world range depends on the reader, antenna, power and the material the tag is attached to, so treat it as a comparison value and confirm it with samples on your own items.

Buyers typically use this UHF RFID inlay for carton, tote and pallet labels and automotive parts, containers and work-in-progress tracking.

The same chip and antenna are available as dry inlay, wet inlay or label; printing, EPC encoding and custom label sizes are quoted on request. Start with samples, then move to volume once the tag passes your tests; volume orders are produced with our ISO 9001-certified production partner and 100% electrically tested inline.
