PULSE PULSEW3579

/
Ferrite-backed Embedded
NFC Antenna
Pulse Part Number W3579
The W3579 is a flexible Near Field Communication (NFC)
antenna ideal for tight-space embedded products such as
tablets, laptops, and payment terminal devices. It is intended
for secure payment or security access applications where
connect distances are constricted to keep sensitive information safe.
The W3579 has a semi-flexible sintered ferrite backing
designed to optimize magnetic fields, thus increasing the
corresponding field strength of the antenna. The W3759 is a
thin, flexible antenna that can be fed with customer-supplied
spring clips, contacts, direct-solder methods or with the use
of Pulse’s own W9908/W9909 C-clips. Mounting the antenna
is easily accomplished using the thin but aggressive holding
adhesive backing. Recommended for mounting on the inside
of battery covers, or locations where the antenna will be on
or in close proximity to ground planes or displays.
