Where to buy ST25TA-E new NFC tag ?

[helix]

Hello,
I've been trying several distributors but as of today I can't find one that can provide the new ST25TA-E NFC tag.

Here is the tag I am talking about:

Please can someone help or redirect me to find a distributor of this tag ?
It was supposed to be commercialized in august.

Thank you very much!

Welcome @helix, to the community!

The ST25TA-E is an RFID tag that is still in evaluation and will be available soon. Please allow me to point out that these are the pure chips without the necessary antenna, so they still need to be fitted with an antenna and a suitable protective cover (plastic card, paper ticket, etc.) before they can be used in applications for end users.

If this is still an option, please contact your preferred distributor.

Does it answer your question?

Regards

Thanks for your response!
I understand that it is not commercialy available yet.

Would it still be possible to get some samples to experiment with ?
I guess with some kind of antenna otherwise it will be complicated to make some test.
Or is there another way to test them ?

Thank you very much!

I would like to clarify my previous statement: when the ST25TA-E are available, they will only be available as silicon chips without a housing and without solder connections. The chips are then supplied in the appropriate number (probably at least 10,000) as sawn wafers, which then have to be processed using special machines. Do you have such machines?
