9.6 Board to board connector and stacking height
The WISM connects to a motherboard by means of a board-to-board connector that is supplied by
Hirose. Mating headers from Hirose are available in different stacking heights, allowing the spacing
between the WISM module and carrier pcb to be changed from 3.5mm to 5.0mm.

9.8 Mounting the Module onto the application platform
There are many ways to properly install the Module in the host device. An efficient approach is to
mount the PCB to a frame, plate, rack or chassis. Fasteners can be M1.8 or M2 screws plus suitable
washers, circuit board spacers, or customized screws, clamps, or brackets in 2.2mm diameter holes.
Note that care should be taken to ensure the head of the fixing does not interfere with the circuit.
Nylon fixings are recommended.
The antenna (Brown square component on top side of PCB) must not be influenced by any other PCBs,
components or by the housing of the host device. The proximity of the antenna to large metallic objects
can affect the range and performance of the system. Designers should carefully consider the location of
the Module and the type of enclosure material that is used.
To prevent mechanical damage, be careful not to force, bend or twist the Module. Be sure it is
positioned flat against the host device.
