# Bluetooth Module (HC-06)

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** CE00022 · **Brand:** [Core Electronics](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/core-electronics-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/bluetooth-module-hc-06.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/bluetooth-module-hc-06.html.md))

Much like it's more well-known brother, the HC-05, the HC-06 is a transparent TX/RX pipeline Bluetooth module which allows devices to communicate via a serial connection with all of the Bluetooth specific handling taken care of by the module's software stack.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $13.60 (inc GST) — $12.36 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $11.13 (exc GST) · 50+ $10.51 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 33 today; more stock is typically available with a 8–12 day lead time.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE00022:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE00022:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Much like its more well-known brother, the HC-05, the HC-06 is a transparent TX/RX pipeline Bluetooth module that allows devices to communicate via a serial connection with all of the Bluetooth specific handling taken care of by the module's software stack.

The HC-06 module itself is mounted onto a breakout board which provides easy, breadboard-friendly 0.1" headers for Power, Ground, TX, RX, and enable pins. This breakout board unfortunately no longer provides on-board logic level conversions. To keep your board safe we recommend adding a separate [logic level converter such as ours linked here](https://core-electronics.com.au/logic-level-converter-bidirectional.html) to ensure that you don't run into any issues with voltage spikes. You are able to power it from an Arduino's 5V pin or a microcontrollers regulated 5V supply

Getting started with the HC-06 is as easy as connecting it up to your microcontroller, configuring it using simple AT commands, and then pairing it with other Bluetooth devices.

Some HC-06's come with an onboard button that is connected to pin34 of the HC-06 module to enter into AT command mode, whereas others have a pin broken out to the header. We've covered using both versions of the board in our Bluetooth tutorials below.

**\*\*Note that the HC-06 can only be configured as a Peripheral device. If you need a module that can be used as either Controller or Peripheral, take a look at the [HC-05](https://core-electronics.com.au/bluetooth-module-hc-05.html)\*\***

Check out [our guide on the more well-known HC05](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/wireless/how-to-use-bluetooth-modules/) for getting that one up and running!

Specs:

- Logic Level: 3.3V
- Power input: 3.6V - 6V
