RC522 RFID NFC Kit - RC522 RFID NFC Module, Card and Keyring Kit

RC522 RFID NFC Kit

The RC522 RFID card reader is a compact, low-power device capable of reading and writing data to tags operating at the NFC frequency of 13.56 MHz. It is widely used with Arduino and other microcontroller platforms. The module supports a communication speed of 424 kbit/s and multiple encryption types. Supported card types include MIFARE 1 S50, MIFARE 1 S70, MIFARE Ultralight, MIFARE Pro, and MIFARE DESFire.

Note: It does not support RFID cards operating at 125 kHz. Only 13.56 MHz cards are supported. Since NFC modules operate at this frequency, it can be used with NFC cards.
