Aiphone AC-PC-40 compatible card

125 kHz LF B-tier format No compatible sold online elsewhere

A compatible replacement for Aiphone 40-bit Wiegand (AC Series) — a 125 kHz proximity credential, encoded by specification to read identically on your existing readers, matched to your facility code and card number. One of the specialist formats few suppliers offer — order single spares or bulk quantities at a fraction of OEM list pricing.

How the compatible Aiphone 40-bit Wiegand (AC Series) works

The Aiphone 40-bit Wiegand (AC Series) is a 125 kHz low-frequency proximity credential — the band most legacy prox readers use. Its data structure is Proprietary Aiphone 40-bit Wiegand (AC-PC-40); also offers an HID 26-bit option (AC-PC-H26) for the same AC-PROX-C reader. When you present a credential, the reader decodes that exact structure and passes it to your access-control panel as a card number it recognises.

We build the compatible Aiphone 40-bit Wiegand (AC Series) by encoding the identical data structure onto a programmable T5577 / EM4305 chip. Once written, the reader cannot tell the difference between our credential and the original — it presents the same bits, the same facility code, and the same card number. That is what "compatible by specification" means: not a generic look-alike, but a credential engineered to read exactly as the original does, matched to your facility code and card-number range.

The Aiphone format sits among the specialist proximity credentials most card vendors never tooled up to produce — which is why the only other source is usually the original manufacturer, at a steep premium. Supporting these hard-to-find formats is exactly what Security ID Systems specialises in. Tell us the format printed on your card, or send a sample for us to read, and we confirm compatibility before you order.

Aiphone 40-bit Wiegand (AC Series) — common questions

Is this a genuine Aiphone card or a compatible one?

It is an independently manufactured compatible credential — engineered to the same specification as the Aiphone 40-bit Wiegand (AC Series) so it reads identically on your existing readers, but it is not an Aiphone-branded product. Security ID Systems is independent and not affiliated with Aiphone; your access-control panel accepts the credential exactly the same way.

What chip is the compatible Aiphone 40-bit Wiegand (AC Series) encoded on?

It is encoded on a T5577 / EM4305 programmable chip. That platform reproduces the original 125 kHz LF data structure precisely, so the credential presents the same information your readers already accept, including the correct facility code and card number.

What frequency and format is the Aiphone 40-bit Wiegand (AC Series)?

It operates on 125 kHz LF, using proprietary aiphone 40-bit wiegand (ac-pc-40); also offers an hid 26-bit option (ac-pc-h26) for the same ac-prox-c reader. Matching that exact frequency and data structure is what makes a compatible credential work — a card on the wrong band or bit length simply will not read.

Do you match my facility code and card numbers?

Yes. We encode each compatible Aiphone credential to your specific facility code and the card-number range you provide, so the cards drop straight into your existing system. Send us the numbers printed on a working card, or a sample to read, and we confirm the encoding before production.

Why can't I find this compatible card anywhere else?

The Aiphone format is one of the specialist, proprietary credentials most card vendors never tooled up to produce, leaving the original manufacturer as the only source. Security ID Systems specialises in exactly these hard-to-find formats, which is why we can supply a compatible credential when no one else lists one.
