PCIe to M.2 4G/5G And USB 3.2 HAT expansion card

The PCIe to M.2 4G/5G And USB 3.2 HAT for Raspberry Pi 5 is a specialized adapter designed to extend the capabilities of the Raspberry Pi 5 by allowing you to connect 4G/5G communication modules via the PCIe interface to the M.2 connector. This HAT also features USB 3.2 ports for connecting additional devices and provides high-speed networking capabilities.

Key Features:

• Designed for the Raspberry Pi 5, standard HAT+ design with built-in I2C EEPROM and supports Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO stackable expansion
• Expands with 3 high-speed USB 3.2 Gen1 ports to connect more peripherals
• Has a built-in M.2(NGFF) Key B slot, supports SIM7600XX-M.2, SIM82XX and RM5XX series 4G/5G modules and is compatible with 3042/3052 packages
• Has a built-in Type-C port for connecting to a PC for 4G/5G network operation, debugging and firmware updates, or external power supply input
• Has a built-in power monitoring chip for real-time measurement of voltage, current, and power
• Has a built-in SIM card slot for NANO-SIM card
• Has a built-in reset button, power and network indicators for easy debugging and monitoring of operating status
• Comes with a 5G-4IN1-PCB customized antenna for neat wiring management, supports top or bottom mounting
• Features a reserved vent and mounting holes for a cooling fan to increase airflow and better heat dissipation
