Product Instruction
MK08 series nRF52840 modules are designed using Nordic Higher-end Bluetooth 5 SoC-nRF52840. Its transmission power can reach +8 dBm, built-in 1MB Flash and 256 KB RAM, fully supports Bluetooth 5, 802.15.4 (including Thread), ANT and private 2.4GHz wireless technology, and has a full-speed USB 2.0 controller and a series of peripherals (can support many devices through EasyDMA), including a four-channel SPI interface. MK08 nRF52840 module can also be powered by a power supply above 5V, such as a rechargeable battery power supply, with a power supply range of 1.7V~5.5V. MK08 Bluetooth 5 modules can be widely used in high-performance HID controllers, smart home and industrial and IoT devices. MOKOsmart can provide fast and professional technical support for software and hardware design.
MK08 series Bluetooth nRF52840 module has two different models — MK08A and MK08B.


MK08A
MK08A integrates a high-performance PCB antenna.

MK08B
MK08B uses a u.FL connector and requires an external antenna.
