RAK19010 WisBlock Base Board with Power
Slot Datasheet
Overview
Description
RAK19010 is a WisBlock Base Board with Power Slot that connects WisBlock Core and other WisBlock
Modules. The power slot of RAK19010 is required to have an attached WisBlock Power Slot module that provides
power supply to the core and other modules. There are many different types of power slot modules compatible
with RAK19010 and the choice will depend on the type of application.
It has one slot reserved for the power slot module, one for the core module, one slot for the IO module, and four
sensor slots A-D for small WisBlock modules. The WisBlock Core, Power, and IO modules are attached on the top
side, and smaller WisBlock modules can be attached to the top or bottom side of the RAK19010. Slot A and D hold
modules up to 23 mm in size, while all slots A up to D support 10 mm WisBlock modules. Also, there are three
2.54 mm pitch headers for extension interface with BOOT, GPIO, ADC, I2C, and UART pins.
WisBlock modules are connected to the RAK19010 WisBlock Base board via high-speed board-to-board
connectors. They provide secure and reliable interconnection to ensure the signal integrity of each data bus. A set
of screws is used to fix the modules, making it reliable even in an environment with lots of vibrations.
You can also use a
RAK19005 WisBlock Sensor Extension Cable
RAK19008 WisBlock IO Extension Cable
to position the WisBlock modules apart from the WisBlock Base board or in any part of your case.

Supports multiple types of sensors - a single board can support a combination of two different types of sensors
Supports different power modules depending on the applications.
RAK19012 - USB, LiPo and Solar
RAK19013 - LiPo and Solar
RAK19015 - Battery
RAK19016 - 5 V to 24 V voltage input
Module Slots
1 WisBlock Core module
1 WisBlock power module
1 WisBlock module compatible with IO slot
4 WisBlock modules compatible with slots A-D
Pin headers accessible pins for BOOT, GPIO, ADC, I2C, and UART interfaces
Size
RAK19010 has a size of only 30 x 60 mm, which lets you create solutions that fit into the smallest housings.
If you can't find a WisBlock module that fits your IoT requirements, use the standard connectors of WisBlock to
develop your specific function module. WisBlock supports open-source hardware architecture and you can find
tutorials showing how to create your own
module.
