Compact and durable, this kit empowers developers to build custom RFID solutions with confidence. ## Description RC522 chip 1. MFRC522 is a highly integrated read and write chip which is applicable to 13.56MHz contactless communications. 2. It is a non-contact read and writer card chip, low voltage, low cost and small size, is a better choice for smart meters and portable handheld devices development. 3. MF RC522 completely integrated in all types of 13.56MHz passive contactless communication methods and protocols. 4. Support 14443A compatible transponder signals. The digital part handles ISO14443A framing and error detection. In addition, support fast CRYPTO1 encryption algorithms, terminology validation MIFARE products. 5. MFRC522 support MIFARE series of high-speed non-contact communication, two-way data transmission rate up to 424kbit/s. 6. As a highly integrated 13.56MHz card reader new family of chips, there are many similarities between MF RC522, MF RC500 and MF RC530, but also have many differences. Communication between it and the host SPI mode helps to reduce the connection, reduce PCB board size and cost.

I want to detect my cat's microchip from several inches away, through his skin and fur.** A: After setting the module to max range, the best I can get is a half inch range. Also, animal microchips operate on a different frequency (~130kHz) than standard NFC 13.56MHz). **Q: Does the rfid-rc522 come with the header pins already soldered?** A: No. It comes with 2 types of pins; straight and L shaped so you can fit it to any project. But you’ll have to solder the ones that fit to the board **Q: what type of cards should i buy if i want more** A: the question you ask really makes me stop and think. I believe you are asking about the operating frequency of the card. It needs to have an Operating Frequency 13.56MHz. Many of the ones I see offered from Amazon state that they operate at 125 KHz. I would not buy those. I would buy one that specifies the 13.56 MHz frequency. I prefer the dog tag type over the card type, but that would just be personal preference. I hope my answer is helpful. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as it should. *by G***D on August 25, 2025* Works as intended, I do appreciate being able to customize and solder it yourself so you can choose the connectors. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very cheap and widely available *by A***Z on April 12, 2026* Very cheap and widely available ✔️ Good compatibility with Arduino libraries (like MFRC522) ✔️ Comes with card + key fob included for testing ✔️ Works well for learning and prototyping ✔️ Good documentation and community support ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great with MicroPython and Raspberry Pi Pico W *by O***R on August 9, 2023* Once I got the driver mfrc522.py and some sample code this worked right out of the box. While the board supports SPI and i2c, the driver has only SPI Init in it leaving adding i2c support to adventurous developers. I’m using this as a key to start my DIY electric scooter bike. I will likely buy another - can’t beat the price! ## Frequently Bought Together - HiLetgo RFID Kit - Mifare RC522 RF IC Card Sensor Module + S50 Blank Card + Key Ring for Arduino Raspberry Pi - ELEGOO 120pcs Multicolored Dupont Wire 40pin Male to Female, 40pin Male to Male, 40pin Female to Female Breadboard Jumper Ribbon Cables Kit Compatible with Arduino Projects - EDGELEC 120pcs Breadboard Jumper Wires 10cm 15cm 20cm 30cm 40cm 50 cm 100cm Wire Length Optional Dupont Cable Assorted Kit Male to Female Male to Male Female to Female Multicolored Ribbon Cables --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/28355008-rfid-kit-mifare-rc522-rf-ic-card-sensor-module-s50](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/28355008-rfid-kit-mifare-rc522-rf-ic-card-sensor-module-s50) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
