HID Sentry tags are compact, low-profile RFID tags designed for exceptional durability and performance, even in harsh environments. IP68 rated for protection against water and dust, HID Sentry tags are also built to resist impacts, vibrations, extreme temperatures, and chemicals. Built on a printed circuit board platform with a rugged fiber-reinforced core, these tags offer reliable read range and cost-effectiveness—making a versatile solution for demanding RFID applications. The Sentry Instrument a special variant in the Sentry family, with an ultra-low profile and narrow design optimized for long metallic tools like medical instruments or scissors. At just 1.4 mm (0.05 in) tall and 1.8 mm (0.07 in) wide, the Sentry Instrument maintains an impressive read range of 2.4 m (8 ft).
