Mini NFC RFID Reader Module | 6-pin FFC Interface | 424kbps | 3 NFC Modes

Mini NFC RFID Reader Module | 6-pin FFC Interface | 424kbps | 3 NFC Modes

The ACM1252U-Z6 is an ultra-compact, embedded NFC/RFID reader/writer module designed for seamless integration into space-constrained devices like tablets, handheld terminals, and laptops. It utilizes a flexible 6-pin FFC (Flexible Flat Cable) connector instead of a traditional USB port, significantly reducing the internal space required for integration while maintaining a direct USB connection to the host. Based on 13.56 MHz contactless technology, it supports all three NFC modes (Read/Write, Card Emulation, P2P) and is compatible with a wide range of standards including ISO 14443 A/B, MIFARE series, FeliCa, and all four NFC tag types (ISO/IEC 18092). With a communication speed of up to 424 kbps, a 30mm read range, and plug-and-play USB CCID compliance, it is an ideal solution for modern embedded applications in payment, access control, digital identification, and loyalty systems.

Key Features

Ultra-Compact with Flexible FFC Interface: Features an extremely small form factor (52.0 x 20.0 x 6.0 mm) and uses a 6-pin FFC connector for flexible, space-saving integration, allowing the module to be positioned away from the main USB host port.
Triple NFC Mode Support: Functions as a full-featured NFC device, supporting Card Read/Write, Card Emulation, and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) communication modes.
Broad Compatibility & High Performance: Supports major contactless standards (ISO 14443 A/B, MIFARE, FeliCa, ISO 18092 NFC) with a fast read/write speed of 424 kbps and a typical read distance of 30mm. Features built-in anti-collision.
Plug-and-Play & Future-Proof: Compliant with USB CCID and PC/SC standards for driver-free operation across major operating systems. Supports in-field firmware upgrades via USB without hardware modifications.
Developer-Friendly: Provides standard PC/SC and CT-API interfaces for easy application development. Includes a user-controllable dual-color LED for status indication.
