Fanstel BC832 Micro BLE 5.0 Module for Wearable IoTs

Fanstel BC832 Micro BLE 5.0 Module for Wearable IoTs is an NFC module that uses the Nordic nRF52832 SoC and features an integrated chip antenna. The BC832 is small at only 7.8x8.8x1.3mm and has 16 castellated pins for applications needing a limited number of GPIOs. Additional 20 LGA (Land Grid Array) pins provide access to all nRF52832 GPIO pins.

BC832: 32 GPIOs, uses LDO mode only.
BC832 V1: 30 GPIOs, inductors required for DC to DC converter on main board and enable DCDC converter to have the lowest power consumption.
We will continue to manufacture both BC832 V0 and BC832 V1. BC832 V1 should be used in all new designs.
