How can this be possible? Is this just a result of economies of scale (are they really making this many generic NFC boards?) or are the ICs definitely clones? I'd love to be able to use the IC only and make my own PCB antenna, but jumping from 1$ to even $3.61 has a very significant effect on the overall cost of the product.ĭoes anyone know what justifies this huge price difference and how to deal with it as an electronics designer trying to keep costs low? Any advice is appreciated. Should you have any further questions please feel free to reply to this post and our team of techs and engineers will work with the manufacturer to get you a correct answer. The whole board from Alibaba which comes assembled with other passives and a crystal oscillator, along with 2 NFC tags and some headers, is about 1$. An exception to this rule is for part numbers with the suffix letter code. The problem is this: If I want to buy this IC on Digikey, it costs $5.36 for QTY 1 and $3.61 for QTY 1,500 ( ). Just got this handy dandy bit in the mail today.
It works like a charm on the prototype so now I'd like to build the NFC antenna into the product and use the same chip (I'll go through the antenna tuning/matching process). It claims to use the NXP MFRC522 IC, and if I look on the board the chip has that part number and even the little NXP logo. I built a prototype using an NFC board I bought from Alibaba for 1$ ( ). Here we find around 0 resouces on Digikey Ruler, you can narrow your search by filers like only transparent clipart, only Free for commercial, only Digikey.
