SIF Header Interface
The XBee/XBee-PRO Smart Energy modules include a SIF programming header that can be used
with Ember's programming tools to upload custom firmware images onto the XBee module. The
SIF header orientation and pinout are shown below.
A male header can be populated on the XBee that mates with Ember's 2x5 ribbon cable. The male
header and ribbon cables are available from Samtec:
2x5 Male Header - FTSH-105-01-F-DV-K
2x5 Ribbon Cable - FFSD-05-D-12.00-01-N
Mounting Considerations
The XBee modules were designed to mount into a receptacle (socket) and therefore does not
require any soldering when mounting it to a board. The XBee-PRO Development Kits contain RS-
232 and USB interface boards which use two 20-pin receptacles to receive modules.

The receptacles used on Digi development boards are manufactured by Century Interconnect.
Several other manufacturers provide comparable mounting solutions; however, Digi 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)
