The ACR1252 from ACS is a 13.56 MHz USB contactless smartcard reader that supports ISO 14443 type A and B cards, MIFARE, FeliCa, and ISO 18092-compliant NFC cards and tags. Replacing the popular ACR122U as well as the ACR1251, this reader is equipped with a SAM slot which provides a high-level of security in contactless and NFC transactions.

NFC Forum certified, the ACR1252 supports all three modes of NFC with improved performance, including card reader/writer, card emulation and peer-to-peer communication.

The ACR1252 is CCID and PC/SC compliant, allowing interoperability with various different devices and applications.

This ACR1252U-M1 model is housed in a plastic case with a captive cable.

The ACR1252 is compatible with Read-a-Card, the contactless card ID reading application, useful for the integration of RFID technology into new or existing systems.

SDK also available.

Limited availability. Contact us for more information, or consider the ACR1252U-DOT, which is the same product without a SAM slot, or the newer ACR1552U-M1 SAM which is now in stock.
