The design of straw tube detector modules developed for the PANDA Forward Tracker is
presented. One module consists of 32 straws with 10mm diameter, arranged in two staggered
layers, and has a very low material budget of only 8:8 x10^-4 X0. The overpressure of the working gas
mixture of 1 bar makes the module self-supporting and enables the use of lightweight and compact
support frames. Detection planes in the Forward Tracker consist of modules mounted closely,
without gaps, next to each other on a support frame. A module can be mounted and dismounted
from the frame without the need to remove the neighborig modules, enabling fast repairs. Technical
details of the detector design and the assembly procedure of the straw tubes and the straw modules
as well as results of performed tests of the modules are given.
