About this card
The HID iCLASS SE 3054 is the top of the iCLASS SE card range: the largest memory on the toughest body. It carries 32k bits (4k bytes) of read/write memory — 16k bits divided across sixteen securely separated application areas, plus a further 16k bits you configure yourself — on a PVC/PET composite card built to survive a hot printer.
Two decisions lead here. The memory is the first: sixteen application areas let one card carry access control alongside biometric templates, cashless vending, time and attendance and PC logon, each behind its own 64-bit diversified key, so one system cannot read another's data. If the card only opens doors, the 2k iCLASS SE 3050 is the same body for less.
The body is the second. Composite is what you need if you print on a retransfer (high definition) printer or a laminating printer — both bond the image with heat, and a straight PVC card warps under it. If you print direct-to-card on a standard dye-sublimation printer, the PVC iCLASS SE 3004 carries the same 32k chip for less.
All of it is programmed with a Secure Identity Object (SIO), which wraps the credential number in its own layer of encryption and authentication so the card is bound to the platform rather than to a single reader technology. SE cards work on iCLASS SE and HID Signo readers, and are not available with the legacy iCLASS access control application — for that, the iCLASS 2104 is the 32k composite that spans both.
To order programmed cards, give us three things: your card format, your facility or site code, and the starting card number. They are printed on the box your current cards came in, or on your original HID paperwork. We encode every card in the run in sequence from your start number.
