Production ready modules

Looking for a 3rd party Nordic based BLE module that comes with a chip antenna and exposed pin headers so I can quickly solder a AA battery housing and a single SPI board and run the 3V off the module to the SPI board.

There needs to be a JTAG/SWD connector to flash the device.

The 3rd party needs to sell the module separately from any dev kit so I can put the module into a plastic hobby project box.

Anybody have suggestions?

I really do not want to spin PCBs right now and just need to get about 10 of the modules up and running in multi-link BLE mode.

  • Nordic has a list here of modules - that's only some however, there are more out there, so you could start with those see if any of them work for you.

    Not sure many/any of them come with a JTAG connector on them, they have the pins broken out but that's it, you may have to mount it in something for programming.

    Word of caution. Current chip revision is 3, some of the manufacturers have older board stock and they still have rev 2 chips on them, or in one recent case some poor chap got the last stock in Germany to find it was rev 1. If you need a specific revision ask questions.
