A simple breakout board for XBee modules that brings all 20 pins out to standard 0.1″ (2.54 mm) dual-row headers. The 0.5″ spacing between header rows makes it breadboard DIP-friendly for easy prototyping.
Key Features
-
All 20 Pins Broken Out – Full access to every XBee pin
-
0.1″ Header Spacing – Standard 2.54 mm pitch for breadboard compatibility
-
0.5″ Row Spacing – DIP-friendly layout spans a standard breadboard
-
2 mm XBee Socket Compatible – Use 2 mm female sockets to avoid soldering the XBee permanently
Specifications
-
Model – LBE-A
-
Pin Count – 20 (all XBee pins)
-
Header Pitch – 0.1″ (2.54 mm)

Note: This is the PCB only. XBee module, 2 mm sockets (2 required), and 0.1″ headers are sold separately.
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.
