The eConnex RFD40 adapter brings together two devices with nothing in common: a barcode terminal and a pistol-grip UHF RFID reader. Fitted to the reader, it takes a Zebra TC22 or TC27 and forms a single unit, held in one hand. Its wired connection through the eConnex port carries both data and power, with no external cable. Fitting takes no tools, and the accessory is ordered separately from the reader.

What the eConnex Interface Makes Possible

This accessory does not add to a device, it joins two of them.

→The terminal mounts on the reader: a Zebra TC22 or TC27 fixes onto the RFD40 RFID reader.
→A wired connection through the eConnex port: it carries data between the two devices.
→Power runs through the same port: no extra cable between terminal and reader.
→Tool-free fitting: the eConnex system connects quickly, with no screws and no dismantling.
→Built for the field: rugged construction, intended for heavy mobile use.
→Sold separately: it is not part of the reader's package and is ordered as its own reference.

A Barcode Terminal Becomes a Pistol-Grip RFID Reader

A Zebra TC22 or TC27 terminal brings the screen, the touch keyboard, the business application and the connectivity. A Zebra RFD40 RFID reader brings long-range UHF reading and the grip of a pistol. Each does half the job very well.

The eConnex adapter joins the two into a single device. The operator holds one grip, reads RFID tags at a distance, and sees the results on the terminal screen already used for everything else.

That changes the nature of an RFID inventory campaign: no second device, no switching between them, no reconciling two data sources at the end of a session.

One Connection for Both Data and Power

The eConnex port does more than hold the two devices together. It carries the data link that lets the terminal drive the reader, and it handles charging as well.

That dual role avoids the improvised solution, where a cable dangles between the two devices and comes loose at the first movement. On a tool held at arm's length for hours, the difference is measured in incidents avoided.

It also simplifies the end of a shift. One assembly comes back to the post rather than two devices to handle separately, on a stock management operation where every extra handling step costs time.

What a Mobile RFID Setup Needs

Four items make up a complete assembly, and each is ordered separately.

The item	What it brings	In the catalogue
The TC22 or TC27 terminal	Screen, input and business application	Separate reference
The RFD40 RFID reader	UHF reading and the grip	Separate reference
This eConnex adapter	The assembly, the data and the power	This page
The spare battery	Endurance across a long campaign	Separate reference

The 7000 mAh battery rounds the assembly out for long campaigns. The wider range sits under RFID accessories.

Kitting Out a Mobile Stock-Count Team

Count one adapter per assembly built. A site fitting out three readers needs three adapters, as the interface stays with its reader once mounted.

Plan for the assembly's availability too. The 1-slot RFD40 docking station charges the reader at the post, the 4-slot battery charger prepares batteries during campaigns, and the battery lock keeps a battery from leaving the device between sessions.

On mixed fleets, check each terminal's exact reference before a bulk order. The rest of the range sits under RFID readers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the eConnex adapter for?▾

It lets a Zebra TC22 or TC27 terminal mount on the RFD40 RFID reader, producing a single device. Its wired connection carries data and power between the two.

Does it come with the RFD40 reader?▾

No, it is ordered separately. The reader and the adapter are two distinct catalogue references.

Does fitting require a tool?▾

No. The eConnex system is designed for a quick connection, with no screws and no dismantling.

Is an extra cable needed between the two devices?▾

No. The eConnex port carries both the data link and the power, which removes any external cable between terminal and reader.

How many adapters should we plan for?▾

One per assembly built, as the interface stays with its reader. For volume pricing, our technical team answers through a quotation request.
