The RAK19007 is the second-generation WisBlock Base Board, designed as a major upgrade to the earlier RAK5005-O. It adds a USB Type-C interface, dedicated GNSS module support, and enhanced voltage regulation for stable operation in low-power or battery-driven environments.
 
The board integrates a lithium battery charger, supporting USB-C charging or optional solar input for remote deployments. Once fully charged, the onboard charger automatically stops to protect the battery, while the 750 mA step-down converter provides a regulated 3.3 V supply to all connected WisBlock modules.
 
With its compact 30 × 60 mm footprint and modular connector layout, the RAK19007 enables scalable WisBlock builds ranging from prototypes to production IoT systems.
 
📍 Note: This board includes an electronic load switch, allowing the WisBlock Core to control power delivery to attached modules.
