.
The XBee Series 2 RF Module (through-hole) was designed to mount into a receptacle (socket) and
therefore does not require any soldering when mounting it to a board. The XBee Series 2
Development Kits contain RS-232 and USB interface boards which use two 20-pin receptacles to
receive modules.

The receptacles used on MaxStream development boards are manufactured by Century
Interconnect. Several other manufacturers provide comparable mounting solutions; however,
MaxStream currently uses the following receptacles:
• Through-hole single-row receptacles -
Samtec P/N: MMS-110-01-L-SV (or equivalent)
• 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
MaxStream also recommends printing an outline of the module on the board to indicate the
orientation the module should be mounted.
