Product Description

RC522 RFID Card Reader Module Kit

13.56MHz Proximity Sensor for Arduino and Access Control Systems

The RFIDRC522 module is a highly integrated, compact readerwriter designed for contactless communication at 13.56MHz [citation:5][citation:9]. This kit is ideal for access control, payment systems, and identification projects with microcontrollers like Arduino [citation:5][citation:6].

Supports MIFARE Standards - Reads S50, S70, Ultralight, and other ISO 14443A compatible cards [citation:5][citation:9]
Easy SPI Interface Simple 4pin connection to Arduino and other MCUs [citation:3][citation:5]
Operating voltage: 3.3V DC; Logic pins are 3.3V tolerant, but the module is compatible with 5V logic with level shifting [citation:3][citation:5].
Reading distance: Typically up to 5-10cm [citation:5].
In Arduino IDE, install the MFRC522 library via the Library Manager for quick setup [citation:3].

Note: While the module uses 3.3V logic, the 3.3V pin from the Arduino can power the module directly [citation:3].

Troubleshooting

Module not detected:

  • Ensure correct wiring as per the connection table.
  • Verify the SPI pins are correctly assigned in your code.
  • Check that the module's 3.3V pin receives stable power.
