These 2 mm pitch 10-pin socket headers are designed specifically for XBee modules, which use 2 mm pin spacing instead of the standard 2.54 mm (0.1″) pitch. Each pack includes two sockets — one for each side of the XBee module.
Solder these sockets onto your PCB or breadboard adapter to create a removable mount for your XBee modules, making it easy to swap modules between projects.
Key Features
- 2 mm Pitch – Correct spacing for XBee module pins
- 10 Pins Per Socket – Matches the XBee footprint
- Pack of 2 – One socket for each side of the XBee module
- Through-Hole Mounting – Solder directly to your PCB
Ideal For
- Custom XBee breakout boards and adapters
- PCB designs requiring removable XBee mounting
- Prototyping with XBee wireless modules
Package Contents
- 2× 2 mm 10-pin socket headers

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
- Headers
- Rows of connector contacts on a fixed pitch (commonly 2.54 mm) used to link a board to a breadboard, jumper wires, or another board. They come as male pin headers and female socket headers; when a module ships with pre-soldered headers it can be used straight away, whereas bare pads require soldering the pins yourself.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
- through-hole
- A mounting style where the component leads pass through holes in a circuit board and are soldered on the other side. Through-hole parts are often easier to handle and solder by hand, which is useful for classroom and hobby projects.
