2.4GHz Wireless Transceiver Module nRF24L01+ SMD

This 2.4GHz Wireless Transceiver Module NRF24L01+ SMD is a very lightweight but highly functional Wi-Fi transceiver designed to add Wi-Fi capabilities to almost any function in a wide range of different applications. From equipping computer peripherals like a mouse, keyboard or headphones with Wi-Fi, all the way through to integrating remote access on a laptop at work, this transceiver is capable of connecting to and communicating with almost all types of Electronics Components.

The module is quite advanced compared to others in the same price range, with operating speeds of up 2Mbps, GFSK modulation efficiency, as well as anti-interference capabilities. This makes it ideal for applications both within the home as well as within an industrial or office environment. With 125 channels to use, multi-point communication and the ability to hop frequencies on-the-fly, this module will make sure it stays connected even amidst interfering radio frequencies and noise.

One of the biggest benefits of this module is that it has very low power consumption, typically operating between 1.9V and 3.6V, with a surprisingly low 1µA during power-down mode. This is quite amazing when considering the 2.4GHz built-in antenna and small form factor of only 29mm x 15.5mm x 4.6mm.

NOTE: You must connect these modules to a 3.3V supply, do not use 5V! (The datalines are 5V tolerant however)

Typical Applications for the 2.4GHz Wireless Transceiver Module NRF24L01+ SMD:

Thanks to the versatility of the 2.4GHz Wireless Transceiver Module NRF24L01+ SMD, it is often used in all types of applications, such as adding Wi-Fi capabilities to wired peripherals like headphones. Because of this wide range of functionality, our customers have purchased these Modules to achieve the following, as well as many more, projects:

• Connecting multiple computers together to build 3-in-1 desktop bundles.
• Building custom VoIP headsets that keep users connected with friends or co-workers connected as long as there is an internet connection available.
• Designing unique sports watches and sensors that capture data and transmit it back to a logger at home for analysis.

This module is not only a worthwhile investment, but can also be a fun tool to use around the home, office or even factory to integrate wireless capabilities into previously-wired devices, components and equipment. Whether you want to upgrade your mouse, keyboard and headphones with Wi-Fi, or are eager to integrate Wi-Fi into low-power-sensor networks, this module is an affordable yet valuable choice.
