The HID 3000PG1MB iCLASS® SIO-Enabled (iCLASS SE) smartcards are part of the next-generation iCLASS SE access control platform and open ecosystem based on HID’s Trusted Identity Platform (TIP) architecture for advanced applications, mobility and heightened security.

iCLASS was specifically designed to make access control more powerful, more versatile,and more secure, with encryption for all radio frequency data transmission between the credential and reader using a secure algorithm. iCLASS SE extends this technology by providing additional key diversification, authentication, encryption and portability for advanced security and performance.

HID’s iCLASS SE 13.56 MHz read/write contact-less smart card technology can be used for diverse applications such as physical access control, PC logon, biometric verification, time and attendance, cashless vending, public transportation, airline ticketing and customer loyalty programs.

The 3000PG1MB iCLASS® smart card meets ISO standard for card size and thickness for use with direct image and thermal transfer printers. It features a graphics quality surface optimized for Photo ID printing, and is available in standard PVC construction for more demanding high wear and tear environments. The smart card can be produced with visual security and anti-counterfeiting features such as holograms, ultra-violet fluorescent inks, micro-printing, or a custom logo to quickly and easily identify genuine smart cards.

The HID 3000 part number series is HID’s most popular iCLASS SE card type. The last number in the part number dictates the iCLASS memory size.  In this case, the last “0” indicates a 2k bits (256 Bytes) card with 2 application areas.

The PG1MBportion of the part number is called the configuration. Each letter gives information on how the card looks or features of the card. Here is a brief overview of what each letter means in the configuration. See the 3000 Ordering Guide PDF in the Documents and Downloads tab for the full details.

P- Programmed with Security Identity Object (SIO)
G- Card Front- Plain White PVC w/Gloss Finish- This still includes the card range number written in black (if M is selected below as well), the small blue HID logo, and the 3 dots indicating where it is safe to slot punch the card
1- Plain White with Gloss Finish with Magnetic Stripe. Cards ordered with plain white front and back packaging, or magnetic stripe, will still have a small HID logo and reference number printed in the lower left-hand corner and a slot punch target printed on the back of the card.
M- Card Numbering- M means that the external number is printed on the card and matches the internal card range number. This is the standard HID configuration. The Printed card number is placed in the bottom right-hand corner on the back of the card.
B– No Slot Punch. This card can be slotted horizontally, Printed Horizontal Slot Indicators. (The ability to add a horizontal slot punch requires a different iCLASS antenna design. Users can expect a read range reduction of approximately 20% if they order options B or H for the Slot Punch.)
