Does the RAK3272S use the RAK3172 or RAK3172-T? Our application will need the low-temperature ability of the RAK3172-T.
I see there’s the RAK3272-SiP but this doesn’t seem to use the RAK3172-T (just a bare IC not module, missing the EMI case?). I also see it doesn’t have the RoHS and REACH certifications the RAK3272S has (I assume it’s the one listed as RAK3172 at here and the other as the RAK3172-SiP?).
We’re after the RAK3172-T as a RoHS, CE certified module on a breakout board - is one available?
Thanks for getting back to me Bernd. I see what you mean about the breakout being for development, though will the certification table be updated to reflect the RAK3172-SiP itself is RoHS certified?
Would the RAK3172-SiP likely require a shield like the RAK3172 for RED/CE certification? I’d rather use a setup during development that’s closest to what we’d be using on a final product. So if the SiP version is going to need significant additions to make it certified on our end product, perhaps we’ll need to go for a RAK3172-T module and develop our own board for it even for internal use. It’ll still need to manage below -20 C so the RAK3272S won’t be suitable for us, but at least a custom board won’t require a custom shield as it might for the SiP.
I do not have feedback whether the RAK3172-SiP needs a shield for certification pass. We do not use it in any of our own products. But there is a chance you need it.
