JP-UM3C Multi-Frequency Card Reader Module, 13.56MHz+125kHz, USB+UART+Wiegand,

Product Specification

JP-UM3C Card Reader Module

Product Overview

     The JP-UM3C Card Reader Module is a versatile multi-frequency RFID/NFC reader supporting both 13.56MHz and 125kHz card technologies. It is compatible with major card standards including ISO/IEC 14443 Type A/B, FeliCa, ISO/IEC 15693, HID iCLASS®, HID Prox® (125kHz), EM4100, and Chinese second-generation ID cards, with a typical read range exceeding 4cm for 13.56MHz cards. The module offers six interface options — USB Keyboard (HID Boot Protocol), USB HID, USB CDC (Virtual COM Port), Wiegand (Data 0/Data 1), Serial TTL (UART), and Serial RS-232 — providing flexible integration across diverse host systems. Housed in a compact 47mm × 26mm × 11mm enclosure with IP50 protection, the JP-UM3C operates from -25°C to 70°C with typical current consumption under 40mA. It is the ideal choice for access control terminals, time attendance systems, identity verification kiosks, and payment terminals requiring support for multiple card types and flexible host connectivity.

Key Advantages

• Multi-Frequency Dual-Band Support: Simultaneously supports both 13.56MHz high-frequency (ISO 14443 A/B, ISO 15693, FeliCa, HID iCLASS®) and 125kHz low-frequency (HID Prox®, EM4100) cards in a single module — eliminating the need for separate readers and simplifying hardware design across mixed-card environments.

• Six Interface Options for Universal Connectivity: Offers USB Keyboard (HID Boot Protocol), USB HID, USB CDC (Virtual COM Port), Wiegand (Data 0/Data 1), Serial TTL (UART), and Serial RS-232 — enabling seamless integration with PCs, embedded systems, access control panels, and legacy Wiegand-based controllers without additional interface converters.

• Comprehensive Card Compatibility: Supports the full spectrum of card types — from standard to government-issued IDs (Chinese second-generation ID cards), iCLASS SEOS, and legacy 125kHz proximity cards — ensuring one module serves diverse deployment scenarios across various regions and card standards.

• Ultra-Compact with IP50 Protection: At just 47mm × 26mm × 11mm and IP50-rated against dust ingress — ideal for space-constrained installations in access control terminals, kiosks, and embedded systems where reliability and environmental protection are essential.

• Wide Operating Temperature Range: -25°C to 70°C operation with low typical current consumption under 40mA — suitable for outdoor access control, industrial environments, and battery-sensitive applications.

Why Choose This Module?

• One Module for Mixed Environments: Many access control systems manage mixed card populations — some users with new 13.56MHz cards, others with legacy 125kHz proximity cards, and government employees with national ID cards. The JP-UM3C reads them all with a single module. This eliminates the need for multiple readers at entry points, simplifies system design, reduces hardware costs, and streamlines user enrollment across mixed-card environments.

• Future-Proof with Six Interface Options: System requirements change over time. The JP-UM3C supports Wiegand (the industry standard for legacy access control panels), USB HID (for direct PC integration), USB CDC (for virtual COM port communication), and Serial TTL/RS-232 (for embedded microcontroller systems). This interface flexibility ensures the same module works across different generations of host systems — from new cloud-connected terminals to legacy Wiegand-based controllers — reducing inventory complexity and enabling component standardization across product lines.

• Extended Read Range for 13.56MHz Cards: With a typical read range exceeding 4cm for ISO 14443 cards, the JP-UM3C provides more user-friendly reading compared to modules with shorter ranges. Users don't need to precisely position their cards on the reader — simply approach naturally. This improves user experience in high-throughput environments like office entrances and reduces the physical wear on card contact points.

• iCLASS SEOS and Government ID Support: The JP-UM3C supports the latest secure card technologies, including HID iCLASS SEOS (the next-generation credential platform) and Chinese second-generation ID cards. This ensures the module remains compatible as organizations transition to newer, more secure card standards, protecting your investment against future technology obsolescence.

• Low Power, Compact, and Reliable: Drawing less than 40mA typical current and operating from -25°C to 70°C, the JP-UM3C is engineered for continuous 24/7 deployment in diverse environments — from climate-controlled offices to outdoor access control panels. The IP50 rating provides reliable dust protection in installations where airborne particles are a concern, and the compact footprint fits easily into slim, modern terminal designs.
