Mounting Considerations – Xbee Wi-Fi Through-hole
XBee Through-hole modules were designed to mount into a receptacle (socket) and
therefore do not require any soldering when mounting to a board. XBee interface
boards provided in XBee Wi-Fi Development Kits have two ten pin receptacles for
connecting the module.
The receptacles used on Digi development boards are manufactured by Century
Interconnect. Several other manufacturers provide comparable mounting solutions;
however, Digi currently uses the following receptacles:
• Through-hole single-row receptacles - Samtec P/N: MMS-110-01-L-SV (or
equivalent)
• Through-hole single-row receptacles - Mill-Max P/N: 831-43-0101-10-001000
• Surface-mount double-row receptacles - Century Interconnect P/N: CPRMSL20-
D-0-1 (or equivalent)
• Surface-mount single-row receptacles - Samtec P/N: SMM-110-02-SM-S
Digi also recommends printing an outline of the module on the board to indicate the
orientation the module should be mounted.
