1.3.1 NINA-B40
A block diagram of the NINA-B40 open-cpu module design showing the alternative U.FL connector
(B400), antenna pin (B401), and PCB trace antenna (B406) solutions is shown in Figure 1.
☞ NINA-B400 modules include a U.FL connector for connecting an external antenna. The module size
is 10 x 15 x 2.2 mm.
☞ NINA-B401 modules include an ANT pad on the footprint for connecting an external antenna. The
module size is 10 x 11.6 x 2.2 mm.
☞ NINA-B406 module support an internal PCB trace antenna using antenna technology from Proant
AB. The module size is 10 x 15 x 2.2 mm.
