With the vigorous development of the Internet of Things industry. The technical requirements for radio frequency identification based on contact IC card reading and writing are also constantly improving. IC cards and IC card readers are widely used in various industries. Common IC card readers mainly include contact IC card readers and non-contact IC card readers. Today we will focus on the daily cleaning and use skills of contact IC card readers.
Specially designed to read and write contact IC cards (that is, IC cards with leaking chips). And communicates through the contact between the metal contacts of the reader and the metal pins of the IC card. Do that the communication is stable Good performance and speed.
Contact IC card readers are often used in daily life. For example, used in gas station fuel dispensers, tax declaration cards, self-service terminals and other equipment.
Since the contact IC card reader needs to contact the metal contacts of the contact IC card with the metal pins through a dedicated contact card holder for communication. It needs to constantly insert and pull the contact IC card.
Therefore, the following points need to be paid attention to in the process of using the contact IC card reader:
1. Plug-in deck
1. Too much force will damage the in-position switch of the card holder. And it will also damage the card to a certain extent.
2. Pay attention to keep the card clean. If the chip of the card is not clean, not only the card will not work normally, but also the contact point of the card holder will be polluted.
3. It is very important to read and write after the card is in place. If the reader powers on the card in an unstable situation, it may cause damage to the card.
4. After the reading and writing of the card in the plug-in card holder is completed. The application program should first send a command to the reader to power off the card, and then pull out the card after power off. Pulling out the card without power off may cause damage to the card.
2. Push-push deck
1. The push-push card holder adopts the push-in card, and the card will pop out when the card is pushed in again when it is taken out. This structure reduces the friction between the card and the electric shock, and has certain advantages in protecting the card. But it can also damage the card if not used correctly.
2. The most common error is that when taking out the card, instead of pushing it in again to make the card pop out automatically. Pulling out the card directly, this situation will seriously damage the card and the card holder.
3. Pay attention to keep the card clean. The card holder of any structure will eventually be in close contact with the chip of the card. So if the chip of the card is not clean, it will pollute the contacts of any kind of card holder.
3. The usage environment and method of IC card
Proper storage and correct use of cardholders are the most economical and effective means to prolong the service life and reliability of IC cards. Proper storage, no random bending, no random contact with the contacts, no random access to strong static electricity environment, pay attention to keep the card surface clean, etc., will help to improve the reliability of the IC card and prolong its service life.
4. Use of cleaning card
Removes built-up dirt, dust, oil and other contaminants to keep your readers functioning properly.

The cleaning card is a cleaning measure used after the reader has been used for a period of time and the contacts of the deck are polluted. The method of using the cleaning card is: insert the cleaning card into the reader-writer when the power is off, and then insert it back and forth to clean the electric shock of the card holder.
The cleaning card is made of polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene or hard paper as the cleaning card base body. The surface of the cleaning card base body is heat-sealed or bonded with a layer of non-woven fabric.non-woven fabric containing abrasive (alumina or silicon carbide) Cloth, fine sandpaper, fine emery cloth or textiles with cleaning ability and other cleaning material layers, a cleaning card of a certain specification made according to the above structure, inserted into the card machine, inserting and pulling out the cleaning card several times, the card machine can be touched.
It is very convenient to clean the point surface, and the effect is obvious, which can effectively ensure the long-term normal operation of the card machine.
