 I would like to know the difference between the nRF52840-QIAA &amp;amp; nRF52840-QIAA -R7. 
 
 What is the significance of R7 here. Not able to find it in any conclusion .</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 13 Jun 2025 12:14:37 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/122234/nrf52840-qiaa-vs-nrf52840-qiaa--r7" /><item><title>RE: nRF52840-QIAA   vs   nRF52840-QIAA -R7</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/539199?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 13 Jun 2025 12:14:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:708559a5-1ddf-4628-866d-188f2390bf9b</guid><dc:creator>SwRa</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The &amp;quot;R7&amp;quot; suffix refers to the container code, which indicates that the devices are supplied on a 7&amp;quot; reel.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" src="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/4/1817.pastedimage1749816735942v1.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;There is no difference in the electrical or functional characteristics of the chips themselves between these options—they are simply different packaging formats for logistics and manufacturing convenience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;So, nRF52840-QIAA-R7 is the nRF52840-QIAA device supplied on a 7&amp;quot; reel, while nRF52840-QIAA (without a suffix) is a generic reference to the device. The actual orderable part will always include a container code for shipping. See here:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ps_nrf52840/page/ordering_info.html"&gt;Ordering information&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Best Regards,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Swathy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
