Hardware Description
The IoD-09TH is a Through Hole design which features
DIP style male pin headers, designed to plug into
female connectors, onto jumper wires/harnesses, into
a breadboard for testing, or directly into PCB holes and
soldered in place.
The IoD-09SM is a Surface Mount design, which
features castellated pads, which can be soldered to
wires or male pins, but are designed to be directly
connected to a host PCB, and soldered in place.
The IoD-09TH is designed to be programmed with the
4D-UPA programming adaptor, and simply plugs on
and off easily. The IoD-09SM cannot easily connect to
the 4D-UPA, as it has no pins. Wires can be soldered to
the IoD-09SM and then connected to the 4D-UPA
programmer, but the intent of the IoD-09SM is for
integration into a product, and programmed in place.
Mounting the Hardware
The IoD-09TH features male pins, which are at a
regular 0.1” (2.54mm) pitch
spacing, and are designed
to plug into another PCB (headers or directly into pads)
for easy plug
’n
play style mounting. The metal casing
features shaped ‘feet’, allowing the module to sit
down onto a surface, giving the rear electronics space.
A hole can be formed in the host PCB, to give access to
the electronics, if direct mounting to PCB pads is
selected.
The IoD-09SM features surface mount castellated
pads, and is designed to be soldered in place onto a
host PCB. This module can be mounted on a PCB in 2
main ways.
A hole the size of the front of the metal frame could
be formed in the product, and the IoD-09SM placed
through the hole, and the surface mount pads being
soldered to the back. Illustrated below.
A hole the size of the rear of the module, with enough
clearance for the electronics, be formed in the
product, and the IoD-SM sits in the hold with the
surface mount pads being soldered from the front, and
its electronics accessed through the hole.
