Opposite side re-flow is prohibited due to module weight.
Devices will withstand the specified profile and will withstand up to 1 re-flows to a maximum
temperature of 260°C. The reflow soldering profile may only be applied if the
BlueMod+S42resides on the PCB side looking up. Heat above the solder eutectic point while
the BlueMod+S42is mounted facing down may damage the module permanently.
6.4 Placement Recommendation
To achieve best radio performance for BlueMod+S42/AI, it is recommended to use the
placement shown in Figure 19. This is a “corner placement”
meaning the BlueMod+S42/AI is placed such that the antenna comes close to the corner of
the application PCB (red area). So, the yellow area is outside the PCB and regards to the
housing, too (refer to 6.5).
Please note that for best possible performance the antenna should be directed away from the
application PCB as shown in Figure 19.
