OEM Components
This page provides documentation for MagTek OEM components, including mechanical drawings, developer guides, and setup instructions to help you integrate secure transaction components (secure magnetic read heads, decoder chips, EMV chip modules, USB swipe readers, card guide rails, and shift-out heads) directly into your custom hardware designs for payment terminals, kiosks, and unattended retail and banking applications.
Key Products
The first magnetic sensing, media-validating, tamper-resistant security module that reads three tracks of magnetic stripe data, encrypts it inside the head using 3DES and DUKPT, and authenticates cards with MagnePrint technology to help OEMs meet stringent PCI security requirements.
High-performance, low-cost three-channel magnetic stripe decoder chips that significantly simplify the card-reader-to-micro-controller interface, including the Delta ASIC (proven for three-track reading) and the next-generation Qwantum ASIC with integrated encryption, SPI support, and ultra-low power modes.
An EMV contact chip card reader module that connects via USB, features two optional auxiliary ports (SPI and UART) to easily add magnetic stripe or contactless/NFC reading, and is built on the MagneSafe Security Architecture for secure chip card transactions.
A compact bidirectional magnetic stripe swipe reader available in USB keyboard emulation or HID format, designed for low‑cost, high‑reliability card reading in payment, membership, loyalty, and identification applications.
Highly efficient three-channel fully integrated magnetic stripe decoder chips (including the Delta and Qwantum families) that simplify the card-reader-to-micro-controller interface via MagTek's "Shift-Out" protocol while supporting advanced features like integrated encryption, SPI, and USB-C connectivity.
Modular card guide rails that work with MagTek’s IntelliHead product line (including the encrypted MagneSafe™ IntelliHead) to provide a complete card swipe assembly in lengths such as 43mm, 60mm, 70mm, and 90mm for various OEM integration needs.
A low-profile magnetic read head with an embedded high-performance multi-channel decoder chip that outputs raw track data using the simple "Shift-Out" protocol (data/strobe), making it ideal for battery-powered or microcontrollers where minimal power consumption is critical.
