Blank Programmable Cards

desfire light compatible card

13.56 MHz HF C-tier format

Genuine NXP DESFire Light supplied as an encodable blank — a 13.56 MHz contactless smart card you program for your own access-control, transit, NFC or hotel application. We stock genuine silicon and ship loose or pre-encoded, in bulk, at a fraction of retail pricing.

How the NXP DESFire Light works

The NXP DESFire Light is a 13.56 MHz high-frequency contactless credential read over the ISO/IEC 14443 air interface. The NXP DESFire Light is genuine NXP silicon — data structure ISO 14443A; AES-128; single-application lightweight DESFire; 7-byte UID — the same chip platform the major lock, transit, hotel and payment systems specify.

We stock it as an encodable blank, supplied unprogrammed or pre-encoded to your specification, so your access-control system, card bureau or application writes it with your own data and keys — exactly as you would chips ordered through the NXP distribution channel, at a fraction of the price. There is nothing aftermarket about the chip itself; what we add is sourcing, encoding and bulk availability.

Whether you need a handful of spares or a bulk run for a facility, transit programme or NFC project, tell us the exact NXP chip and quantity and we confirm the part before production. Security ID Systems supplies genuine NXP silicon and is independent and not affiliated with NXP.
