1. To avoid blistering, layer separation and other soldering issues, extended exposure of the module to
the air is forbidden.
2. Take out the module from the package and put it on high-temperature-resistant fixtures before baking.
All modules must be soldered to PCB within 24 hours after the baking, otherwise put them in the
drying oven. If shorter baking time is desired, see
IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033
for the baking procedure.
3. Pay attention to ESD protection, such as wearing anti-static gloves, when touching the modules.
7.2. Manufacturing and Soldering
Push the squeegee to apply the solder paste on the surface of stencil, thus making the paste fill the
stencil openings and then penetrate to the PCB. The force on the squeegee shall be adjusted properly to
produce a clean stencil surface on a single pass. To ensure the module soldering quality, the thickness of
stencil for the module is recommended to be 0.15
–0.18mm. For more details, see
document [3]
The peak reflow temperature shall be 235
–246 ºC, with 246 ºC as the absolute maximum reflow
temperature. To avoid damage to the module caused by repeated heating, it is strongly recommended
that the module shall be mounted only after reflow soldering for the other side of PCB has been
completed. The recommended reflow soldering thermal profile (lead-free reflow soldering) and related
parameters are shown below.
