There are following methods to embed MNS-300EM in the target device. Directly connect MNS-300EM to the target PCB When a PCB of the target device is equipped with a connector or a spacer, MNS-300EM can directly be connected to it without a special daughter card or a cable.
Example) When the MAC address is 84:25:3F:00:11:22, it is noted on the label as "84253F001122" and then the serial number is "001122". A 50-pin male connector that connects MNS-300EM and the target device or the Interface connector special daughter card.
MNS-300EM Embedded Manual 2-1-2. Dimensions The dimensions are described below. Use this information for your reference to design a special daughter board. (Unit : mm) The height of MNS-300EM varies with a female connector to use. For details, see 2-2-1. Interface Connector.
Compatible connectors DF12(5.0)-50DP-0.5V (86) (HIROSE) The distance between MNS-300EM and the target device or special daughter card ( 'A' in the image below) changes depending on the connectors. The following shows the clearance after the target device or daughter card is connected.
MNS-300EM Embedded Manual 2-2-2. Pin Allocation for Interface Connector The interface connector is a component that connects MNS-300EM to the target device. The connector consists of 50 pins and includes important signal lines such as serial data I/O, GPIO and power. The following table shows the pin allocation of the interface connector.
