What Are Contact IC Cards?
Contact IC cards are chip-based smart cards that require physical contact between the card’s metallic pads and the reader to enable data transmission and processing. Compared with contactless cards, they offer highly stable communication, controlled access, and mature security architecture, making them ideal for regulated and high-risk environments.
Embedded IC Chips & Compatibility
Our contact IC smart cards support a wide range of widely adopted chip models:
- FM4442
- FM4428
- FM24C02
- Other compatible contact IC chips available upon request
These chips provide secure EEPROM storage, controlled read/write operations, and long-term data retention, ensuring reliable performance throughout the card lifecycle.
Secure Data Storage & On-Card Processing
Contact IC cards enable:
- Secure storage of personal identity data
- Account and credential management
- On-card data processing via embedded IC logic
- Reliable transaction handling without wireless interference
This makes them suitable for authentication, identification, and transaction-based systems.
