XBee Adapter Board (#32403)
This low cost XBee Adapter Board comes in a kit form and provides a cost-effective solution to interfacing
to any XBee or XBee Pro module. By using this adapter board you can provide an easy interface to the
XBee or XBee Pro modules by converting the 2mm pin spacing to breadboard friendly 0.100” spacing.
The adapter boards also provide a means to connect pluggable wires or solder connections and also
provide mounting holes.
