OEM NFC Reader Module Selection Guide
Choose an embedded reader around the host connection, board space and antenna position, then evaluate it inside the intended enclosure.
Application guides
An NFC module needs to work in the mechanical and electrical environment of the finished equipment. Board dimensions alone do not describe the complete installation: connectors, cables, antenna placement and host software also matter. Start with a layout and a card-operation brief, then compare a compact module with a design that allows a separate antenna board.

Use these models as a starting point. Confirm the exact variant, software support and evaluation results for your project before ordering.
| Model | Selection focus | Confirm for your project |
|---|---|---|
| | ACM1552U-Z2 is a compact USB NFC module with a listed 52 × 20 × 5.7 mm board and a 5-pin connector. | Check the mating connector, cable, mounting and antenna constraints for the host. Confirm the configuration required for the intended NFC mode. |
| | ACM1552U-Y3 uses a detachable antenna board, providing a different layout option from the compact Z2 module. | Allow space for the main board, antenna board and interconnection. Confirm the supported assembly and evaluate it in the finished device. |
Plan the evaluation
Prepare the integration layout
Share board-space limits, mounting details, host connection and the intended card presentation area.
Confirm the hardware scope
Ask what boards, cables and connectors are included. Check the model's reference materials before treating a module as a complete integration kit.
Evaluate the finished assembly
Test with the enclosure, nearby electronics and intended cards. Record the conditions instead of assuming a quoted reading distance applies to every installation.
What to include in your enquiry
- Host interface, power provision and operating system
- Board-space drawing, mounting and antenna position
- Card or tag model, required mode and read/write operations
- Evaluation assembly, forecast quantity, destination and schedule
The enquiry page will include this guide as its source. Add your requirements before reviewing and sending the WhatsApp draft.
Price, evaluation-unit availability, quantities, software scope and delivery need confirmation for each request.
Before you order
Are these modules direct UART replacements?
The candidate models listed here use USB interfaces. Confirm the host connection and protocol; use another suitable model if the design requires a different interface.
Will the enclosure affect NFC reading?
Antenna position, surrounding materials and the card used belong in the evaluation. Test the complete assembly rather than selecting from a maximum reading-distance figure alone.
What should I confirm before integrating a module?
Confirm the supplied boards, cables, connectors and firmware configuration for the exact model. If a SAM is needed, check whether it is included or available by request. Quantity and delivery also need confirmation.
