Silex technology manual Installing the SX-560, Antenna Connectors

Installing the SX-560

IMPORTANT: In order to prevent flexing of the SX-560 boards during the installation process, you must use spacers. Because of the wide range of possible OEM daughtercard connectors and other design issues, you must provide the three spacers that go between the SX-560 base module board and your daughtercard.

The spacers are installed with the SX-560-1701 WLAN model as shown below:

Figure 9 Using spacers with SX-560 WLAN model

Do not over-tighten the screws during the installation procedure. Although the spacers provide protection against flexing, they can compress or break if too much torque is applied.

IMPORTANT: Silex does not recommend soldering the SX-560 directly to your device’s daughteroard. Soldering the SX- 560 will violate the standard warranty. If you must solder the SX-560, please contact Silex Technical Support at 866-765- 8761 (U.S. toll-free) or +1-801-748-1199, or e-mail us at support@silexamerica.com

Antenna Connectors

The SX-560 Module has two SMT Ultra-miniature coaxial connectors (U.FL/I-PEX). Table 15 describes the connector types.

For single antenna use, connect to the main antenna connector, as shown in Figure 25. For diversity antenna use, connect to both the main and auxiliary connectors.
