XBees are so cute and tiny but if you’re using them in a circuit you’ll be annoyed to find that your classic 0.1″ headers don’t fit them! That’s because they use 2mm spacing instead of 2.54mm spacing. That’s why you need special sockets like these ones!

These sockets have 10 pins, spaced 2mm apart. Check the datasheet for a detailed diagram. You can find a footprint for the XBee that works with this connector in our Eagle Library (its called XBEE).

XBees use a 2mm pin spacing instead of the classic 0.1″ (2.54mm) header spacing, requiring special sockets like these for easy integration in your circuits.

This pack includes two 10-pin 2mm socket headers designed specifically for XBee modules.

• 10 pins per socket header
• 2mm spacing between pins
• Sold as a pack of 2 sockets
• Compatible with XBee modules and footprints

Refer to the datasheet for detailed dimensions and the Eagle Library for compatible footprint named “XBEE”.
