Electronic components distributor Digi-Key Corporation, recognized by design engineers as having the industry's broadest selection of electronic components available for immediate shipment, recently announced it now has stock on the recently-introduced Mini RFID Tracking Pad from 3M.
This sleek and compact portable reader is in stock and available for purchase on Digi-Key's global websites. Additionally, this product will be featured in future print and online catalogs.
The Mini Pad offers users appealing aesthetics in a compact 7.25-inch by 6.5-inch size, making it ideal for mobile applications. Because it is fully powered from the USB port of a PC or laptop, the need for a separate power outlet is eliminated. Fitting easily into a laptop bag, the Mini Pad and laptop affords a user the opportunity to work from virtually anywhere he chooses.
The Mini Pad is ISO compatible, allowing it to be used with a variety of RFID systems, with a number of features enhancing its functionality. User interface lights help quickly confirm a successful transaction or event. The pad's small size offers user more options with regard to placement of the device. Additionally, its smooth, cleanable surface makes it suitable for many settings, including medical settings.
The 3M Mini RFID Tracking Pad is the first of 3M's tracking pads to be offered for sale through distribution.
