6.4 Production instructions
1. For the modules that can be packaged with the SMT or in the in-line way, you
can select either of them according to the PCB design solutions of customers. If
a PCB is designed to be SMT-packaged, package the module with the SMT. If a
PCB is designed to be in-line-packaged, package the module in an in-line way.
After being unpacked, the module must be soldered within 24 hours. Other- wise,
it needs to be put into the drying cupboard where the relative humidity is not
greater than 10%; or it needs to be packaged again under vacuum and the
exposure time needs to be recorded (the total exposure time cannot exceed
168 hours).
• (SMT process) SMT devices:
– Mounter
– SPI
–
Reflow soldering machine
– Thermal profiler
– Automated optical inspection (AOI) equipment
• (Wave soldering process) Wave soldering devices:
–
Wave soldering equipment
– Wave soldering fixture
–
Constant-temperature soldering iron
– Tin bar, tin wire, and flux
–
Thermal profiler
• Baking devices:
– Cabinet oven
–
Anti-electrostatic and heat-resistant trays
– Anti-electrostatic and heat-resistant gloves
2. Storage conditions for a delivered module:
• The moisture-proof bag must be placed in an environment where the tem-
perature is below 40°C and the relative humidity is lower than 90%.
• The shelf life of a dry-packaged product is 12 months from the date when
the product is packaged and sealed.
• There is a humidity indicator card (HIC) in the packagingbag.
