Shop anti theft tag (non dye version) taken apart.

Did this a while ago and never got round to blogging it.


This is the type im on about. (it was very damaged from removal by monkeys)

Here we see the damaged tag taken apart, you can (hopefully) see the RFID security part in the long area, and the pin (on the right top) and the black part on the left top is the pin retainer.

 Here you can see the RFID disassembled on the left, and the pin+ retainer on the right top, using a magnet you pop the pin retainer off and the pin comes free.

I leave it to the reader as an excersise on where to place a rare-earth magnet to dislocate the pin retainer.
