Mounting Considerations
The XBee module was designed to mount into a receptacle (socket) and therefore does not require any
soldering when mounting it to a board. The XBee-PRO Development Kits contain RS-232 and USB interface
boards which use two 20-pin receptacles to receive modules.

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.
