1. If a conformal coating is necessary for the module, do NOT use any coating material that may
chemically react with the PCB or shielding cover, and prevent the coating material from flowing
into the module.
2. Avoid using ultrasonic technology for module cleaning since it can damage crystals inside the
module.
3. Due to the complexity of the SMT process, please contact Quectel Technical Supports in advance
for any situation that you are not sure about, or any process (e.g. selective soldering, ultrasonic
soldering) that is not mentioned in document [8].
8.3. Packaging
EG91 series module is packaged in a vacuum-sealed bag which is ESD protected. The bag should not be
opened until the devices are ready to be soldered onto the application.
The reel is 330 mm in diameter and each reel contains 250 modules. The following figures show the
packaging details, measured in mm.
