8.2. Manufacturing and Soldering 
 
Push the squeegee to apply the solder paste on the surface of stencil, thus making the paste fill the 
stencil openings and then penetrate to the PCB. The force on the squeegee should be adjusted properly 
to produce a clean stencil surface on a single pass. To ensure the module soldering quality, the thickness 
of stencil for the module is recommended to be 0.18 mm – 0.20 mm. For more details, please refer to 
document [4].[1]   
   
It  is  suggested  that  the  peak  reflow  temperature  is  238–246  °C ,  and  the  absolute  maximum  reflow 
temperature  is  246  °C .  To  avoid  damage  to  the  module  caused  by  repeated  heating,  it  is  strongly 
recommended that the module should be mounted after reflow soldering for the other side of PCB has 
been  completed.  The  recommended  reflow  soldering  thermal  profile  (lead-free  reflow  soldering)  and 
related parameters are shown below.
