  • Product description

    The ACR1252U-A1 is a USB smart card reader developed based on 13.56MHz contactless technology. It is one of the first devices in the industry to receive NFC Forum Certification, which proves that the ACR1252U-A1 is interoperable with other NFC devices and can fulfil all three modes of NFC—card reader/writer, card emulation, and peer-to-peer communication. The ACR1252U-A1 is therefore suitable for a wider range of NFC applications, such as smart posters, file exchange, and so forth. The ACR1252U-A1 supports ISO 14443 Type A and B Cards; MIFARE, Felica, and ISO 18092–compliant NFC tags; and other NFC devices with an access speed of up to 424 Kbps and proximity operating distance of up to 50mm (depending on the tag type used). The plug-and-play ACR1252U is also PC/SC and CCID-compliant.


    The ACR1252U USB NFC Reader III is an NFC Forum-certified PC-linked reader, developed based on 13.56Mhz contactless technology. It has a SAM (Secure Access Module) slot which can be used together with a SAM card for key diversification and mutual authentication, providing high-level security in contactless transactions. Post-deployment firmware upgrade is also supported, eliminating the need for additional hardware modification.


    ACR1252U is capable of the three modes of NFC, namely: card reader/writer, card emulation and peer-to-peer communication. It supports ISO 14443 Type A and B cards, MIFARE®, FeliCa, and ISO 18092–compliant NFC tags. It also supports other NFC devices with an access speed of up to 424 Kbps and proximity operating distance of up to 50mm (depending on tag type used).

    Compliant with both CCID and PC/SC, this plug-and-play USB NFC device allows interoperability with different devices and applications. It is thus ideal for unconventional marketing and advertising applications like smart posters.

    The ACR1252U comes with an optional stand to hold the smart card reader at an optimal angle, so that users can tap contactless cards or NFC-enabled devices onto the ACR1252U with ease.
