Multi-format card reader

The Hetai Tech YL160 reads magnetic stripe, EMV IC chip, 13.56 MHz RFID NFC and PSAM cards from a single USB-powered device. It complies with EMV 4.3 and PBOC 3.0 specifications and supports both T = 0 and T = 1 CPU card protocols. A green LED and beeper confirm each successful read. No driver installation is required on supported operating systems.

Developers and kiosk builders

The reader suits integrators who need a compact, multi-standard terminal for point-of-sale, access-control or loyalty applications. It provides library functions and example source code for multiple development languages and platforms. Buyers who require contactless-only readers or battery-powered mobile operation should consider other devices.

USB plug-and-play interface

Connection is made through a standard USB port that supplies both power and data, eliminating the need for an external power supply. The interface works with Windows 2000, XP, 2003, 2008, 7, 8 and Linux kernels without additional drivers. This single-cable design determines whether the unit fits the target workstation or kiosk.

Questions about this item

What does the 4-in-1 label mean for daily counter use?

The single unit reads magnetic stripe cards, EMV chip cards, 13.56 MHz RFID or NFC tags, and PSAM security modules, so one device covers every common payment and loyalty card type.

How does the USB interface limit transaction speed?

USB provides power and data together with plug-and-play operation on Windows 2000 through Windows 8 and Linux, and the green LED plus beeper confirm each full three-track read without extra drivers.

What physical space does the reader need on a till?

The compact housing is powered entirely from the USB port, so it only requires a free USB-A socket and a flat surface for bi-directional card swipes or tap-and-go reads.
