Product details
Overview
RI-ANT-S01C-00 from Texas Instruments is a low-frequency (134.2 kHz) stick antenna designed for RFID reader/writer systems interfacing with TI transponders. It features a ferrite rod core, 27 µH inductance, IP66 protection, 140 ± 2 mm × 21 ± 2 mm dimensions, and 1 m cable with ring lug terminals - optimized for focused read zones in industrial access control and asset tracking.
For engineers reviewing the RI-ANT-S01C-00 datasheet, RI-ANT-S01C-00 pinout, RI-ANT-S01C-00 application, or RI-ANT-S01C-00 equivalent, key selection criteria include LF read-zone shape control, IP66-rated environmental resilience, ferrite-based inductive coupling at 134.2 kHz, and compatibility with TI RFM modules and ISO/IEC 11784/11785-compliant transponders.
Technical Context
The RI-ANT-S01C-00 operates exclusively at 134.2 kHz to energize and communicate with passive LF transponders via magnetic field coupling. Its ferrite rod construction enables precise tuning of the magnetic read field geometry - supporting discrimination between closely spaced tags and consistent performance in metal-rich or wet environments.
It delivers a defined readout pattern with two distinct field lobes (Trp. 1 and Trp. 2), as verified by TI's published field mapping. The antenna requires no external power and interfaces directly to compatible reader/writers using its 1 m cable and 3.5 mm ID / 6 mm OD ring lugs - eliminating need for impedance-matching networks or active circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Frequency | 134.2 kHz - precisely matches TI transponder standard and ensures reliable magnetic coupling without frequency drift compensation. |
| Inductance | 27 µH (typ.) - sets resonant point with reader-side capacitor for maximum energy transfer efficiency at 134.2 kHz. |
| Protection Rating | IP66 - fully dust-tight and resistant to powerful water jets, enabling outdoor and washdown-capable deployments. |
| Dimensions | 140 ± 2 mm × 21 ± 2 mm - compact rod form factor supports mounting in confined spaces while maintaining directional field control. |
| Cable Length | 1 m - provides mechanical decoupling between reader electronics and antenna placement without signal loss penalties at LF. |
| Terminal Type | Ring lugs (3.5 mm ID / 6 mm OD) - ensures secure, low-resistance connection to reader/writer output terminals without soldering. |
Pinout & Package
RI-ANT-S01C-00 uses a passive two-terminal interface with no internal IC or active circuitry. Its package consists of a glass-reinforced epoxy (grey) housing enclosing a tuned ferrite rod core, with a 1 m PVC-insulated cable terminating in two identical ring lugs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Ring Lug A | Antenna Coil Terminal 1 | Connects to one side of reader/writer's LC tank output; forms half of resonant loop with matching capacitor. |
| Ring Lug B | Antenna Coil Terminal 2 | Connects to opposite side of reader/writer's LC tank output; completes magnetic field generation path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Patented HDX Technology | Enables best-in-class read range and tag discrimination by shaping dual-lobe magnetic field (Trp. 1 & Trp. 2) for spatial selectivity. |
| IP66 Enclosure | Allows direct mounting in exposed industrial settings - including waste management bins, vehicle undercarriages, and outdoor container yards. |
| Ferrite Rod Core | Provides high permeability and stable inductance at 134.2 kHz, minimizing detuning from nearby metal or moisture. |
| 1 m Pre-Attached Cable | Eliminates field distortion from custom cabling; maintains calibrated impedance and phase response between reader and antenna. |
Applications
| Access Control | Vehicle Identification |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Gate-mounted RFID reader identifies staff badges or fobs at building entry points. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: RI-ANT-S01C-00 serves as the magnetic field transducer, converting reader output into controlled 134.2 kHz excitation field.

FAQ
What is the operating frequency of the RI-ANT-S01C-00?
The RI-ANT-S01C-00 operates at 134.2 kHz, the standardized low-frequency band for TI-compatible transponders and ISO/IEC 11784/11785-compliant RFID systems. This fixed frequency is integral to its ferrite rod design and HDX field-shaping capability - the RI-ANT-S01C-00 does not support tunable or multi-frequency operation.
Is the RI-ANT-S01C-00 compatible with non-TI RFID readers?
The RI-ANT-S01C-00 can be used with any 134.2 kHz reader/writer capable of driving a ~27 µH inductive load with appropriate resonant capacitance. However, optimal HDX field performance and dual-lobe read patterns are validated only with TI's designated RFM modules and reader platforms per SCBS851 documentation.
Does the RI-ANT-S01C-00 require external tuning components?
No. The RI-ANT-S01C-00 is a complete, factory-tuned antenna assembly. Its 27 µH inductance is matched to standard 134.2 kHz reader output stages; users must only add the specified parallel resonant capacitor (per reader design) - no trimming, calibration, or additional inductors are needed for basic operation.
What mounting options are supported for the RI-ANT-S01C-00?
The RI-ANT-S01C-00 must be mounted using non-metal clamps to avoid magnetic field distortion; TI explicitly states mounting hardware is not included. Its glass-reinforced epoxy housing allows direct surface attachment or bracket mounting - but metallic fasteners or backplates will degrade read performance and field shape.
How does the RI-ANT-S01C-00 differ from the RI-ANT-S02C-00?
The RI-ANT-S01C-00 has a 1 m cable and identical electrical specs to RI-ANT-S02C-00, which uses a 3 m cable. Both share the same ferrite rod, IP66 rating, dimensions, and HDX field pattern - the sole functional difference is cable length, affecting installation flexibility and reader placement distance.
