About Contact IC Chip Card
A contact IC card is built around an ISO 7816 chip module: the gold-plated contact plate is milled into the laminated card body, and the chip is wire-bonded and encapsulated beneath it. Because data moves only through physical contact with a terminal, these cards suit applications where a deliberate insert-to-read step is a feature — payment terminals, signature devices and government ID readers.
Choosing the right chip matters more here than in most card families. Simple memory chips like SLE4428 or FM4428 cover prepaid and membership schemes at low cost, while CPU and Java cards add cryptographic co-processors for PKI, digital signature and EMV-style security. Send us your terminal model or applet requirements and we will confirm chip compatibility before sampling.

Frequently asked questions
Which contact chips do you support?
SLE/FM memory chips and CPU/Java cards — tell us your reader and we will match it.
Can you pre-encode the chips?
Yes, encoding, numbering and personalization are available.
Are your contact cards ISO 7816 compliant?
Yes — module milling, bonding and electrical behavior follow ISO 7816-1/2/3, so the cards work in standard-compliant terminals and card readers.
Can a contact chip be combined with magstripe or RFID?
Yes. Dual-interface and hybrid builds put a contact module, magstripe and/or a contactless antenna on one CR80 card for transition systems.
How do you handle our encoding data and keys?
Under NDA. Keys, card numbers and encoding files are used only to produce your order, stored no longer than production requires, and deleted on request after delivery.
What is the MOQ for Contact IC Chip Card?
Production runs start at 500 pcs, and we stay flexible on configuration — tell us your target quantity and we will match the best wholesale tier.
What does Contact IC Chip Card cost in bulk?
Plan around $0.10–$0.80 per pc FOB Shenzhen as an indicative range; the firm price depends on chip, size, artwork and volume, and drops as quantities rise.
