    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.
  • Page 11: Stencil Design Requirements

    1mm should be left between outward end of the aperture and the component. The stencil design requirements for Quectel modules are shown in the table below. Diagrams in the table are only typical examples of corresponding modules. Diagrams of different modules listed in the same row may vary but the stencil requirements for them are identical.
