## Description

So you've got your Pi 3 with its built-in wireless LAN and Bluetooth, but what about your Pi Zero? Say hello to the **IoT pHAT** from Red Bear! This Zero-size board provides WiFi (802.11bgn / 2.4GHz) and Bluetooth (v4.1 / BTLE) connectivity direct from the GPIO header. You don’t need to use a dongle plugged into the Pi Zero’s solitary data micro-USB port via a USB OTG adapter. Just snap it on top of a [Raspberry Pi Zero](https://www.adafruit.com/categories/813) (or really, any Raspberry Pi with a 2x20 connector)!

The IoT pHAT provides a neat and convenient way to add WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity to your Pi Zero, while freeing up the USB data port. Using the same wireless radio chip as the Pi 3 results in reliable signal strength and quality via an on-board or optional external antenna.

As with other pHATs, it works with all of the 40-pin Raspberry Pi variants - 2/B+/A+/Zero - but using it with the Pi Zero makes for a super-tiny package.

**Features:**

- AMPAK AP6212A Wireless Module (Broadcom BCM43438 A1 chip inside)
    - WiFi (802.11bgn / 2.4GHz)
    - Bluetooth (4.1) and BLE support
- Single antenna for concurrent WiFi and Bluetooth operations
    - Onboard PCB antenna
    - External antenna connector
    - Antenna switch for extenal antenna
- 32 Kbit (4 KByte) EEPROM for DTOverlay configuration
- 40-pin connector
    - WiFi: SDIO v2.0 - up to 20 MHz clock rate
    - Bluetooth: UART (up to 4 Mbps)
- FCC/CE certified

**Note:** This product comes **unassembled** and will require some light soldering. [They also offer an assembled version.](https://core-electronics.com.au/red-bear-iot-phat-for-raspberry-pi-wifi-btle.html)
