 I&amp;#39;ve managed to find a franchised source of nRF52840-QIAA-R processors at low volume and I&amp;#39;m advised they have a date code of 19+. 
 
 Is there anything that I should be aware of if choosing this source for my prototype PCBs?

&lt;p&gt;Using that should not be a problem. Any nRF52840 variant that has been in mass production can be used with the latest tools and SW components (that means revision 1 and newer, but not engineering samples).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You should be aware that the latest revision has an improved &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ps_nrf52840/dif.html?cp=4_0_0_3_7_1#concept_udr_mns_1s"&gt;access port protection&lt;/a&gt; mechanism, and in order to remain compatible with that in case you use these at a later point you should base your firmware development on an update SDK. See &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/in_141_v1.1.pdf?cp=18_20"&gt;IN-141&lt;/a&gt; for details about this.&lt;/p&gt;
