RF600368 RFID Tag Read/Write Inlay - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RF600368 is a passive RFID tag inlay operating in the 860MHz to 960MHz frequency band with 128-bit EPC memory capacity. This component implements the Impinj® Monza® 5 chipset and conforms to EPC and ISO 18000-6 standards. The part is currently classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally compatible alternatives for ongoing system integration and procurement requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for RFID tag inlays is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Frequency band compatibility (860MHz ~ 960MHz UHF range)
• Memory type classification (Read/Write capability)
• Standards adherence (EPC and ISO 18000-6 protocols)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)
• Physical form factor (inlay configuration)
• RoHS compliance status

The RF600593 qualifies as a substitute based on matching frequency range, read/write memory type, standards compliance, operating temperature range, inlay style, and RoHS status. The primary distinction is the reduction in writable memory capacity from 128 bits to 96 bits and the transition from obsolete to active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RF600593 is the designated substitute for the obsolete RF600368. Selection of RF600593 is supported by:

• Active product status ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Identical frequency band operation within UHF RFID spectrum
• Maintained read/write memory functionality with EPC and ISO 18000-6 compliance
• Equivalent operating temperature range for industrial and environmental applications
• RoHS compliance alignment with regulatory requirements
• Negligible physical dimension variance compatible with existing mechanical integration

The reduction in writable memory from 128 bits to 96 bits represents the primary technical distinction. Applications requiring the full 128-bit EPC memory capacity must evaluate whether the 96-bit capacity of RF600593 satisfies data encoding requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RF600593 directly replace RF600368 in existing designs?

A: RF600593 is mechanically and electrically compatible for most applications. The primary consideration is memory capacity: RF600593 provides 96-bit writable memory versus 128 bits in RF600368. Verify that your EPC encoding scheme operates within 96-bit constraints.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: Active status indicates RF600593 is currently manufactured and supported by Avery Dennison RFID. This ensures component availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability for new procurements and long-term deployments.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Dimensions are nearly identical with negligible variance (approximately 0.01" in length and 0.011" in width). Both parts maintain the same inlay form factor and are compatible with equivalent mechanical mounting and integration schemes.

Q: Do both parts comply with the same RFID standards?

A: Yes. Both RF600368 and RF600593 comply with EPC and ISO 18000-6 standards, ensuring protocol-level compatibility within UHF RFID systems operating in the 860MHz to 960MHz band.

Q: What packaging format is RF600593 supplied in?

A: RF600593 is supplied in strip packaging, which differs from the RF600368 specification. Confirm strip packaging compatibility with your assembly and handling processes.
