1Introduction

This document describes the process of Quectel modules’ secondary SMT and desoldering. It is

applicable to all Quectel modules in LCC or LGA form factor.

2Information about Modules

2.1. Surface-Mount Packaging Type

Quectel modules adopt LCC or LGA package.

2.2. Packing Methods

Quectel provides tape and reel pack as shown in the following figure.

3Requirements on Chip Mounter

3.1. Chip Mounter

⚫Feeder: Support auto tray feeder and auto reel feeder.

⚫Image processing: Optical plummet centering.

⚫Diameter of nozzle: Select the suitable nozzle according to the module size.

The recommended diameter of nozzle should be not less than 40% of the module’s shorter side. For

example, if the module size is 25mm×20mm, the nozzle diameter should be 8mm at least.

3.2. Soldering Requirements

1. It is recommended to use reflow soldering equipment with eight zones at least. For Quectel LTE,

LPWA, Automotive and Smart series modules, reflow soldering equipment with at least ten zones is

recommended.

2. In a lead-free reflow oven, the peak temperature of the actual solder joints on the component side of

an LGAmodule should be greater than 238°C , and the temperature of fixtures is recommended to be

240-245°C to avoid cold solder joints on LGAmodules.

4Attentions for Manufacturing

4.1. MSL and Moisture-proof Requirement

Quectel SMD module is sensitive to moisture absorption. According to IPC-JEDEC standard, the moisture

sensitive level (MSL) of Quectel SMD modules is defined as “3”. Please make sure the package is intact

before using. After opening the package, please confirm the status of humidity indicator card in the

vacuum-sealed package. To prevent the module from permanent damage, baking before reflow soldering

is required if any circumstance below occurs:

⚫Humidity indicator card: At least one circular indicator is no longer blue.

⚫The seal is open and the module is exposed to air for more than 168 hours.

Normal Not blue
