Red Bear IoT pHAT for Raspberry Pi - WiFi + BTLE

Discontinued

The Red Bear IoT pHAT adds WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity to your Raspberry Pi directly through the GPIO header. Using the same AMPAK AP6212A wireless module (Broadcom BCM43438) as the Raspberry Pi 3, it delivers reliable WiFi (802.11bgn) and Bluetooth 4.1 with BLE support — no USB dongle or OTG adapter needed.

Designed to pair perfectly with the Raspberry Pi Zero for an ultra-compact wireless setup, it also works with any 40-pin Raspberry Pi (2, B+, A+, Zero). The board comes pre-soldered with a 40-pin female header — just snap it on and go.

  • WiFi 802.11bgn – 2.4 GHz wireless via SDIO v2.0 (up to 20 MHz clock)
  • Bluetooth 4.1 + BLE – Via UART (up to 4 Mbps)
  • Dual Antenna Options – Onboard PCB antenna plus external antenna connector with switch
  • Single Antenna Operation – Concurrent WiFi and Bluetooth on one antenna
  • 32 Kbit EEPROM – Pre-configured for DTOverlay setup
  • Pre-Soldered Header – No assembly required, ready to use
  • FCC/CE Certified – Compliant wireless module

Ideal For
