4.2 Manufacturing Considerations
The Socket Modem has been designed to be mounted onto the host board in one of two
ways.
The first method consists of soldering two 32-pin strip sockets to the host board and inserting
the Socket Modem into the sockets. A suggested part number for the 32-pin socket is Sam
Tec SMM-132-01-F-S.
The second way is to solder the Socket Modem directly to the host board. The most efficient
way to do this is through a wave solder process. The recommended hole size for the Socket
Modem pins is 0.036 in. ±0.003 in. in diameter. Spacers can be used to hold the Socket
Modem vertically in place during the wave solder process. A spacer should be placed on pin
32 and pin 64 of the Socket Modem. A suggested part number for the spacer is BIVAR 938-
0.130 for P1(0.310in) option Socket Modems. The spacers can be left on permanently and
will not effect operation.
Socket Modems can be put through a water wash process.
