Techship MC201 Adapter (M.2 key B to USB-C, Dual SIM)

Techship MC201 Adapter - M.2 key B to USB-C, Dual SIM

The Techship MC201 Adapter connects M.2 Key B modems (3052/3050/3042) to USB-C for fast integration. It supports 42, 50, and 52 mm cards with USB 3.1/3.0/2.0 interfaces. Dual Nano-SIM slots enable flexible connectivity, while the wide –20 °C to 75 °C temperature range makes it reliable for development and testing environments.

In-house designed by the Techship engineering team for optimal hardware compatibility with M.2 cellular data cards, and it comes with an enclosure that has a small footprint. Locally manufactured in Sweden for high-quality and flexible production.​

Seamlessly use 5G and 4G cellular data cards with the modern M.2 form factor in the MC201 adapter board. Tailored to be used for 5G applications where you already have computer power and require a cellular connection via USB.​

The MC201 board is also useful as a flexible and cost-effective development kit. It is a handy alternative to your own hardware platform and software environment during the cellular data card integration phase and for your products life-cycle maintenance. The MC201 is designed to fit the Raspberry Pi and can make use of its GPIO signals, but can also be used as a stand-alone adapter with any board capable of USB data signals.​
