3 Electrical interface and connectors
This section describes the signals available on the module interface connectors. There are three ways of connecting:
Via the PCB solder lands on the edge of the PCB, J6 (see figure below: Secondary side connectors). For more information see
Section J6 Solder Lands Description.
Via the 2 x 20-pin 1mm pitch board-to-board (one piece part) connectors J2 and J3. The J2 and J3 connectors exist on the
module only as compression pads (see figure below: Secondary side connectors). These pads mates with the carrier board
one-piece part connector. For more information see Section J2 Connector Description and J3 Connector Description.
Optional:
Via the JST connector, J8 (see figure below: Primary side connectors). The connector is a 6 poles pin header. The pitch is 1mm
and the connector is from JST with part number SM06B-SRSS-TB. The SM06B-SRSS-TB connector is mated with the wire
connector SHR-06V-S from JST. Other connector options are also available from JST. For more information see section J8
Connector Description.

3.3 Electrical characteristics
The cB-0941-02 family is designed to be fully interchangeable with the connectBlue Bluetooth product range. If the host product has
space for the board, it is possible to choose freely between Bluetooth modules, e.g. cB-OEMSPA311i/x or cB-OEMSPA331i/x, or WLAN
modules, e.g. OWSPA311gi/x, without any change of the host product. If you design your power supply for OWS451i/x the modules will
be fully interchangeable.

3.8 Software overview
3.8.1 cB-0941 (OWL253)
Wireless LAN driver for OWL253 consists of a host driver in binary format or source code, and target firmware in binary format. In the
overview picture below these two software parts are represented by the yellow boxes.
The host needs to be able to hold the target firmware since targets does not have on-board non-volatile memory. At startup, and at every
reset or power cycle, the host driver will download firmware binaries to target before any wireless LAN operations can begin.
3.8.1.1 OS support
Software and drivers are available for the following operating systems:
1. Linux 2.6
2. WinCE 6.0 (in progress)
3. Embedded RTOS
Customized drivers for use in embedded systems are available upon request. Contact connectBlue for more information.

3.8.2 cB-0941 (OWS451)
The OWS451 is a serial port adapter with an UART interface and fully embedded TCP/IP stack and driver. The module is presented as a
serial port/UART to the host. Raw serial data is sent to the module, which will package the data into TCP/UDP packages and transmit via
Wireless LAN.

4.2 External antennas
The external antennas are connected to the module with the on board U.FL connectors. Some antennas are connected directly to
the U.FL connector and some are connected via a U.FL to SMA (cB-ACC-18 or cB-ACC-48) or U.FL to reversed polarity SMA
(cB-ACC-38) adapter cable.
The sections below lists the antennas that are included in the radio type approvals of the module. For each antenna the "Approvals" field
defines in what country/region the antenna is allowed to use. Definitions of the "Approvals" field are:
FCC - The antenna is included in the FCC test reports, and thus approved for use in countries that accept the FCC radio
approvals, primarily US.
IC - The antenna is included in the IC (Industrie Canada) test reports, and thus approved for use in countries that accept the IC
radio approvals, primarily Canada.
R&TTE - The antenna is included in the R&TTE test reports, and thus approved for use in countries that accept the R&TTE radio
approvals, primarily the European countries.
In general, antennas with Reverse Polarity SMA connector or U.FL connector are included in FCC, IC and R&TTE radio tests.
Antennas with SMA connector are not allowed to be used in Canada and USA due to FCC/IC regulations but are in general included in
R&TTE radio tests.
Antennas with a part number in the form "cB-ACC-XX" are available for orders via the connectBlue distribution network.

5 Mounting information
5.1 Module dimensions
Copyright © 2010 connectBlue AB
Page 32 of 45
connectBlue
Tolerances:
1. Outline dimensions +/- 0.1mm
2. Drilled hole to outline: +/- 0.05mm
5.1.1 Mounting holes
There are 2 x 2.3mm mounting holes on cB-0942. The reasons for the 2.3mm holes are that the threaded M2 holes on the single and
double row connectors are not aligned. The outer tangents of the 2.3mm holes align the module if the single row connectors are used and
the inner if double row connectors are used (see Figure 11).
Choose the outer tangent (CC distance 27.24mm) if the module is aligned and mounted with some other technique based on M2 screws
(e.g. press-fit nuts), see Figure 12.
Copyright © 2010 connectBlue AB
Page 33 of 45
connectBlue
5.2 Using the J2/J3 board-to-board connectors
The board-to-board connector should be a 1 mm pitch one-piece part connector. The recommended manufacture is Samtec with many
connector options available.
Chapter 2 contains more information about the connector and the electrical interface.
5.2.1 Single row connectors
The single row connector SEI-120-02 can be used if only J2 is needed.
This connector has a profile height of 1.65 mm and this has to be considered if components are to be mounted on the motherboard under
the OEM Serial Port Adapter board.
There are alignment pins on the bottom side of the connector.
The connector is available with M2 threaded inserts that fit the mounting holes on the board (see section Suitable One-Piece Part
Connectors). You may screw the OEM Serial Port Adapter board directly into these inserts. If you want to have a tighter and more secure
mounting, you may use longer screws and secure it using a nut on the backside of the motherboard.
Another way to mount the module is to use press-fit nuts on the motherboard and skip the M2 threads on the connector, see section
Using Press-Fit Nuts for Mounting the Module for more information about press-fit nuts.

5.3 Using Press-Fit Nuts for Mounting the Module
A press-fit nut is pressed into the PCB from the bottom side with a special press tool. M2 sized press-fit nuts are suitable for the modules
(see Figure 10 and Figure 11) and are manufactured by PEM Fastening Systems (www.pemnet.com), part no KFS2-M2 (see Figure 12).
Be careful with the distance between the nuts regarding alignment, see the Mounting Holes section.
Spacer-pipes are recommended to use between the PCBs when press-fit nuts are used.

5.4 Recommended M2 screw
If a double-row connector with threaded inserts or press-fit nuts are used, then recommended for mounting of modules is a ISO 7380 M2
compatible screw. A suitable screw is the BN6404 from Bossard, www.bossard.com, with TORX T6 head cap. See figure below.

If other type of screw is used please ensure that d2 is less than 3.8 mm otherwise components near the mounting holes
can be damaged.
5.5 Using the J6 PCB solder pads
5.5.1 Host Board
The host PCB footprint should not contain any traces or vias under the module except the pads interfacing the J6 pads to avoid contact
with traces/vias on the module. The host pads which are soldered to the J6 pads should reach 0.5-1.0mm under the PCB and some mm
outside the module. No other pads than the J6 should be soldered to the host PCB. See section Secondary side connectors for more info
about the J6 pads.
5.5.2 Mounting process
We strongly recommend the modules not being soldered more than 1 time after shipping from connectBlue and that the modules are
mounted just before the host product is being soldered the last time. Although, connectBlue devices will withstand up to two reflows to an
absolute maximum temperature of 250°C.
The PCB in our modules is made of Isola PCL-FRP-370HR with Chemical Gold Pads.
The modules are produced in a lead-free process with a lead-free soldering paste.
It is recommended that the customers make their own electrical, climate, stress and vibration tests on the final assembled
product to secure that the manufacturing process hasn't damaged or affected the Bluetooth module in any way.
The modules are normally delivered without labels on each module when packaged on tape-and-reel. However, if they are
delivered with labels on each module, the labels should be removed before the module is processed since the labels do not
withstand the heat of soldering.
The device recommended maximum re-flow temperature is 245°C for 10 sec.
The device absolute maximum re-flow temperature is 250°C for 3 sec.
5.6 Antenna issues
The unit cannot be mounted arbitrary, because of the radio communication. The unit with an internal surface mounted antenna cannot be
mounted in a metal enclosure. No metal casing or plastics using metal flakes should be used, avoid also metallic based paint or lacquer.
Keep a minimum clearance of 10 mm between the antenna and the casing. Keep 10 mm free space from metal around the antenna. If a
metal enclosure is required, one of the external antenna options has to be used. See section 3.2 for more information on the antenna
options available.

8 Guidelines for efficient and safe use
8.1 General
Read this information before using your cB-0941-02 module.
For any exceptions, due to national requirements or limitations, when using your WLAN module cB-0941-02, please contact connectBlue
AB.
Changes or modifications to the product not expressly approved by connectBlue AB will void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
8.2 Product care
Do not expose your product to liquid or moisture.
Do not expose you product to extreme hot or cold temperature.
Do not expose your product to lit candles, cigarettes, cigars, open flames, etc.
Do not drop, throw or try to bend your product since rough treatment could damage your product.
Do not attempt to disassemble your product. Doing so will void warranty. The product does not contain consumer serviceable or
replaceable components. Service should only be performed by connectBlue AB.
Do not paint your product as the paint could prevent normal use.
If you will not be using your product for a while, store it in a place that is dry, free from
damp, dust and extreme heat and cold.
The clearance and creepage distances required by the end product must be withheld when the module is installed.
The cooling of the end product shall not negatively be influenced by the installation of the module when the module is installed.
8.3 Radio frequency exposure
The cB-0941-02 WLAN module contains a small radio transmitter and receiver.
During communication with other WLAN products the cB-0941-02 module transmits and receives radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic
fields (microwaves) in the frequency range 2412 - 2462 MHz, 5180 - 5240 MHz, 5260 - 5320 MHz and 5500 - 5700 MHz.
The output power of the radio transmitter is very low.
When using the cB-0941-02, you will be exposed to some of the transmitted RF energy. This exposure is well below the prescribed limits
in all national and international RF safety standards and regulations.
8.4 Electronic equipment
Most modern electronic equipment, for example, in hospitals and cars, is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic
equipment is not. Therefore:
This equipment emits RF energy in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) band. Please insure that all medical devices
used in proximity to this device meet appropriate susceptibility specifications for this type of RF energy.
8.5 Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn off your electronic device before entering an area with potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your electronic device could
generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fuelling areas, such as petrol
station, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such
as grain, dust, or metal powders.
8.6 Safety compliance
In order to fulfill the safety standard EN 60950-1:2006 the WLAN module cB-0941-02 must be supplied by a Class-2 Limited Power
Source.
