Asset UHF ceramic RFID tag · Alien Higgs 3 (RT-C101)

One of the smallest on-metal formats we supply: a 4×4 mm ceramic tag just 3 mm thick and 0.3 g, made to identify tools, instruments and compact metal assets. The Alien Higgs 3 chip stores a 96-bit EPC plus 512-bit user memory, reads up to 0.8 m on metal with a fixed reader, and the IP68 body operates from -40 to 85 °C.

Four millimeters square and three thick — this ceramic tag disappears onto surfaces where even small labels are too large. Ceramic construction is what makes the size workable on metal: the sintered body isolates the antenna from the surface beneath, so the tag reads dependably where ordinary inlays fail outright.

An Alien Higgs 3 chip supplies a 96-bit EPC, 64-bit TID and a generous 512-bit user bank, rewritable up to 100,000 times with data retention rated to 50 years. Read range on metal reaches 0.8 meters with a fixed reader (0.4 m handheld) across US 902–928 MHz and EU 865–868 MHz plans. The black IP68 package weighs 0.3 g, mounts with adhesive, operates from -40 to 85 °C, and carries REACH, RoHS and CE approvals along with a one-year warranty.

Ordering this product

Sampling, quotations and supply through Rivotag.

How fast will I get a quotation?
We reply to every enquiry within 24 hours with a specific recommendation — chip, antenna, face material and adhesive — plus tiered unit pricing for the quantities you request.
Can I get samples before ordering?
Yes. Samples are free of charge (freight collect) and dispatched within 3–5 working days, so you can verify read performance on your own material before committing to production.
What is the production lead time?
Mass production typically ships in 7–15 days after artwork approval. Our partner factories run 30+ production lines with a combined capacity of about 1.5 billion tags per year.
Are you the manufacturer?
We are an independent supplier, not the factory. Production runs on audited partner lines in China that hold ISO 9001 certification and ARC-certified standard designs; we handle engineering review, sampling, QC and logistics, and remain your single accountable contact.
Can you customize size, chip, printing and encoding?
Yes — size, chip (Impinj, NXP, Alien and more), face material, adhesive, printing and EPC/TID encoding are all customizable. A custom antenna design typically takes 3 working days.
How is quality controlled?
Partner lines run CCD vision inspection on every roll, Voyantic RFID performance testing, and 100% read verification after encoding, under an ISO 9001 quality system. We release shipment only after QC data is confirmed.
