FCS960K-E is a high-performance Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 module launched by Quectel, which can be used for WLAN and Bluetooth connections. The module complies with IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax protocol, supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi bands as well as 1T1R mode, and the maximum transmission rate can reach 600.4 Mbps. FCS960K-E features a reliable SDIO 3.0/USB 2.0 interface to support high-speed WLAN transmission, as well as UART and PCM interfaces for Bluetooth applications.

FCS960K-E is in an LCC form factor with an ultra-compact size of 12.0 mm × 12.0 mm × 1.9 mm, which optimizes the size and cost for end-products and fully meets the demands of size-sensitive applications. Surface-mount Technology (SMT) makes FCS960K-E an ideal solution for durable and rugged designs. The low profile and small size of LCC package ensure that FCS960K-E can be easily embedded into size-constrained applications and provide reliable connectivity with these applications.

The advanced package, integrated shielding cover and the laser-engraved label with better heat dissipation and indelible markings allow for large-scale automated manufacturing that has strict requirements on cost and efficiency. Coupled with its compact size and wide operating temperature range, FCS960K-E can meet various needs of commercial and industrial applications.
