Required connectors

When integrating these modules into your host device, you
need the following connector types:
• RF cables that mate with Hirose U.FL connectors (model
U.FL #CL331‐0471‐0‐10). Modules include one or two
connector jacks depending on individual module support
for diversity or GPS functionality.
• Industry‐standard mating connector for 52‐pin EDGE—
some manufacturers include Tyco, Foxconn, and Molex. For
example, the connector used on the Mini Card Dev Kit
board is a Molex 67910‐0001.
Industry‐standard USIM connector (MC87xx only)—the
•
actual connector you use depends on how your device
exposes the USIM socket. For example, the USIM connector
used on the Mini Card Dev Kit board is an ITT CCM03‐
3518.
