LORDWORLD PCIe to M.2 E Key HAT for Raspberry Pi 5 with AX210 Card

SKU CH-13BS-V1SFF

Adds an M.2 E Key wireless card with Bluetooth over USB to the Raspberry Pi 5 via its 16-pin PCIe interface, including an SMA antenna connector

  • Designed for Raspberry Pi 5 16-pin PCIe interface
  • Includes AX210 wireless card for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
  • Supports M.2 E-key and A/E-key modules
  • USB link routes Bluetooth to the Pi
  • Onboard SMA female connector for external antenna

Raspberry Pi 5 wireless expansion

This HAT adds a PCIe-to-M.2 E-key slot to the Raspberry Pi 5 using its 16-pin PCIe interface. It accepts a variety of NGFF wireless NICs in A/E-key or E-key form factors. The included AX210 card provides Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for maker and IoT projects. Builders who need a second wireless card or a different form factor cannot use this single-slot design.

16-pin cable and SMA antenna

The board connects to the Pi 5 through a 16-pin flexible cable that carries the PCIe lanes. An onboard SMA female connector allows an external antenna to be mounted on a case or panel for better signal placement. Bluetooth signals are routed to the Pi via a USB link on the HAT. Users who require internal-only antennas or a direct board-to-board connection without a cable will not find that here.

AX210 thermals and power

The AX210 card draws power from the Pi 5’s PCIe and USB rails during normal operation. Heat output is modest and typically managed by the Pi’s own cooling solution without extra heatsinks. The radio operates quietly with no moving parts, so acoustic noise is not a concern. Deployments that demand sustained high-throughput traffic in sealed enclosures may need additional airflow not provided by this kit.

Questions about this item

What PCIe lane width does the 16-pin cable provide to the M.2 E Key slot?

The 16-pin cable connects the Raspberry Pi 5's PCIe interface to the HAT, giving the installed M.2 E Key wireless NIC direct PCIe access.

What mounting hardware is required to attach this HAT to the Raspberry Pi 5?

The HAT aligns with the Pi 5's 40-pin GPIO header and 16-pin PCIe connector; standard Pi 5 standoffs secure the board.

How is the AX210 card's Bluetooth function connected to the Raspberry Pi 5?

Bluetooth signal from the AX210 card routes through the HAT's onboard USB interface to the Pi 5, separate from the PCIe Wi-Fi path.
