I am planning to purchase XEM3010 (and maybe XEM5010 after some time) but I have a question about the SAMTEC connector on XEM3010.
I have to route the signals on the SAMTEC connector onto a connector such as a screw-terminal. I’m looking for a solution but so far unable to find one. Is there some sort of connector/cable assembly (possibly a ribbon cable) that can connect to the SAMTEC connector on XEM3010 and maybe having dangling wires on the other side so I can hookup screw terminals?
So do all users of the XEM-boards design a custom PCB to integrate their modules? (Other than using the breakout boards of course).
Another question: Do you provide the complete schematic/PCB design for BRK3010? That would be a very good starting point for anyone who wishes to design a custom PCB to integrate with the XEMs.
Yes, most of our customers build a board to attach the XEM to. The schematics for the BRK3010 are not substantial enough to hand out, but we’d be happy to if you email us at [email protected]. It’s just a direct connection from each pin on the XEM3010 to a header pin.
A basic mechanical drawing of the BRK3010 is here:
A much more detailed mechanical drawing of the BRK3010 and the XEM3010 are located in the XEM3010 User’s Manual.
