Magnetic card
Introduction
Englishname:magneticcard
Acard-shapedmagneticrecordingmediumthatworkswithvariouscardreaders.Amagneticcardisacardthatusesamagneticcarriertorecordsomeinformationforidentificationorotherpurposes.
Dependingonthesubstrateused,magneticcardscanbedividedintothreetypes:PETcards,PVCcardsandpapercards;
Dependingonthestructureofthemagneticlayer,theycanbedividedintomagneticstripecards.Andtwokindsoffullycoatedmagneticcards.
