MIFARE Classic® 1k NXP EV1 with Hi-Co Magnetic Stripe (Pack Of 100)

MIFARE Classic EV1 1K magstripe cards, pack of 100

MIFARE Classic EV1 1K magstripe cards combine a contactless chip and a separately encoded magnetic stripe. This ACB offer contains 100 cards, with the existing specification listing a 2750 Oe Hi-Co stripe and a 4-byte NUID. Confirm the identifier and encoding requirements for your installed system.

Match the card to your existing system

MIFARE Classic EV1 operates at 13.56 MHz using ISO/IEC 14443 Type A and a sector-based 1 kB EEPROM. Some memory is reserved for identifiers, access conditions and keys, so nominal memory is not all available for application data. Sharing a frequency with another card does not make the technologies interchangeable.

Check identifiers and personalisation

The existing ACB specification lists a 4-byte NUID. NXP defines this format as non-unique; it should not be described as a globally unique identifier. Confirm the identifier format your system expects, together with its sector keys and enrolment process, before ordering. A blank card does not arrive configured for your building, membership scheme or payment application.

See the NXP MIFARE Classic EV1 1K data sheet, or contact ACB with your current card reference and reader model.

Prepare a sample before the full issue

Give the system administrator the existing card reference, reader model and required stripe format. Test both data technologies as part of the sample approval. If the cards will carry printed artwork, check the supplied stock specification and the approved printing process before personalising the full pack.

MIFARE Classic EV1 1K magstripe cards: buying questions

Does one encoder configure both technologies?

RFID personalisation and magnetic-stripe encoding are separate operations. Check that the selected equipment and software support each required operation, and confirm the chip keys and stripe track data with the system administrator.

Is a 4-byte NUID guaranteed to be unique?

NXP defines NUID as a non-unique identifier. Match the identifier format to the application and use the system’s supported credential-management process. A matching memory size or radio frequency alone does not establish compatibility.

What if the system does not need a magnetic stripe?

Compare the MIFARE Classic EV1 1K cards without a stripe. Confirm the card variant and system requirements before choosing either format.
