Manufacturing with EZ-BT WICED Modules
EZ-BT WICED Modules are intended to be used with traditional Surface Mount Technology (SMT) manufacturing lines
and are compatible with industry-standard reflow profiles for Pb-free solders.
9.1
SMT Manufacturing Pick-and-Place
The modules should be picked up from the topside of the module using industry-standard pick-and-place machinery
and nozzles. The ideal location for picking up the module is on the shield area of the module. For the optimal location
for your EZ-BT W
ICED Module, see the module’s datasheet.
Each module MPN has a unique center-of-
mass detailed in each product’s datasheet. This center-of-mass is the area
that represents the optimal location to pick up the unit with the nozzle. Using the center-of-mass guidelines for the pick-
and-place location minimizes SMT line disturbances caused by units releasing prematurely from the nozzle.

product. See the center-of-
mass dimensions in each module’s datasheet to select an appropriate nozzle for your
manufacturing line equipment.
