  • Page 24: Mounting

    7 Mounting This chapter describes the suggested mounting process for the A5135-H GNSS re- ceiver modules. In a RoHS, compliant product with a RoHS compliant process it is recommended to use chemical tin as the counter-part to the module’s pins. This will guarantee highest resistance against shocks.

    Time 25°C to peak temperature 8 minutes max. Table 8: Reflow soldering profile A5135-H As results of soldering may vary among different soldering systems and types of sol- der and depend on additional factors like density and types of components on board, the values above should be considered as a starting point for further optimization.

    50 Ω PCB strip line is required. the strip line needs a good reference ground. Figure 14: Antenna connector strip line A5135-H To achieve the impedance of 50 Ω, the width of the strip line needs to be calculated. It depends on the thickness or height of the PCB layer (both parameters are shown in following drawing).
