By using this adapter board you can provide an easy interface to the XBee or XBee Pro modules by converting the 2mm pin spacing to breadboard friendly 0.100” spacing. The adapter boards also provide a means to connect pluggable wires or solder connections and also provide mounting holes. Features      Converts XBee 2mm pin spacing to 0.100” pin spacing Provides easy pluggable wire or solder connections Includes mounting holes Pin-out compatible with our other XBee Adapter boards Kit form for flexible configuration Key Specifications     Power requirements: 3.3V pass-through to XBee module Communication: Serial pass-through to XBee module Operating temperature: -40 to +185°F (-40 to +85°C) Dimensions: 1.16” L x 1.00” W x 0.58” H* (29.4 mm x 25.6 mm x 14.8 mm*) * when headers are attached Application Ideas   Easy connection of XBee modules to breadboard or proto board Convenient way to mount the XBee module away from the microcontroller Packing List    (1) XBee Adapter Board PCB (2) 10-pin 2mm sockets (1) 40-pin SIP header Tools Required     Soldering Iron (always wear safety glasses when soldering) Solder (some soldering experience required) Flux (if not using rosin/flux-core solder) Diagonal cutters or Exacto knife (optional) Copyright © Parallax Inc.

Step 2: Install the 2mm sockets on top of the PCB as shown and solder them in place from the bottom side of the board. Copyright © Parallax Inc. XBee Adapter Board (#32403) v1.1 3/4/2010 Page 2 of 4 Step 3: Using an Exacto knife, hobby knife or a pair of diagonal cutters, cut two 11pin headers from the 40-pin header. Extra header material was included in case of a mistake or damaged header. Step 4 (optional): Insert the two 11-pin SIP headers into the bottom of the adapter board as shown and solder them in place from the top. This step is optional in that you could leave the headers out and solder wires into the pads instead if you wish. Copyright © Parallax Inc.
