Stoplock HG 160-00 RFID/NFC protection card – signal blocker for cards and wallets
This neat little card is a simple, no-nonsense way to stop would‑be contactless thieves from having a go at your bank and credit cards, phone or car key fob. It uses a passive shielding layer to disrupt RFID and NFC radio signals, making wireless skimming and relay attacks a lot trickier. No faffing with batteries or apps — just slip it into your purse or wallet and forget about it.
What it is and how it works
The Stoplock HG 160-00 contains a discreet metallic/chip layer that interferes with RFID and NFC communications. Keep your contactless items close to the Stoplock card (best results within about 5 cm) and it prevents attempts to read or relay data. It’s not flashy, but it quietly does the job.
Key features and specs
- Size: same footprint as a standard bank or credit card; slightly thicker at around 0.9 mm — fits most wallets and card slots.
- Weight: feather‑light, so it won’t bulk out your wallet.
- No batteries, no charging, no maintenance.
- Provides close‑range protection for bank cards, credit cards, contactless ID and key fobs — handy in crowded places.
- Model: HG 160-00 by Stoplock.
Why it’s useful
Contactless fraud and relay attacks are easy to worry about but hard to spot. This card gives instant, passive protection for everyday situations: popping to the shops, commuting on a busy train, or leaving a bag on a café chair for a moment. It’s subtle, sensible and helps reduce the risk of your data being skimmed without anyone having physical access to your card or device.
Typical use cases
- Slip the Stoplock card next to contactless bank or credit cards in a wallet or purse.
- Keep a key fob and the Stoplock card together in a small pouch when leaving a vehicle overnight.
- Use alongside a Stoplock RFID pouch for bulkier protection of phones and multiple fobs.
- A straightforward, no‑fuss gift for someone who travels, commutes or carries contactless cards daily.
Practical notes and things to consider
One card won’t magically protect everything in a jumbo wallet — for best results, keep high‑value contactless items as close as possible to the Stoplock card (roughly within 5 cm). It’s not an electronic lock or a long‑range shield, but for everyday use it’s reliable and easy to live with. If you carry several contactless items, consider a Stoplock RFID pouch for broader coverage.
All in all, a small, clever and fuss‑free way to cut the chances of contactless theft. No tech headaches, no batteries — just pop it in your wallet and carry on. If you’re also thinking about vehicle security, Stoplock’s range includes steering wheel locks, van locks and wheel clamps — handy extras for extra peace of mind.
