| Feature | Alps HIDclass 10013 (Updated) | HID iClass SE (13.56 MHz) | |---------|-------------------------------|----------------------------| | Card Cost | Very low ($2-4 per card) | Moderate ($6-12 per card) | | Read Range | Up to 12 cm | Up to 8 cm (secure mode) | | Security | Basic (Wiegand easy to clone) | High (encrypted, mutual auth) | | Power Use | 45 mA active | 80 mA active | | Backward Compatibility | Excellent with millions of existing HID cards | Limited (requires new credentials) | | Feature | Alps HIDclass 10013 (Updated) |

The updated 10013 is ideal for low-cost, low-security retrofits where credential replacement is impractical. For greenfield high-security installs, choose a HF reader. Chapter 9: Future-Proofing Your Design with the Updated Module The term "updated" is not just marketing. Alps Electric has committed to manufacturing the HIDclass 10013 through at least 2028 . They have also released an engineering change notice (ECN 2024-03) detailing a new "low-emission mode" that reduces RF interference with adjacent 2.4 GHz radios (Bluetooth/Wi-Fi).
