  • Page 64: Manufacturing Information

    Manufacturing information Manufacturing information The micro XBee RR RF Module is designed for surface-mounting on the OEM PCB. It has castellated pads to allow for easy solder attaching and inspection. The pads are all located on the edge of the device so there are no hidden solder joints on these devices.

  • Page 65: Recommended Solder Reflow Cycle

    Hand soldering is possible and should be done in accordance with approved standards. Handling and storage The XBee RR RF Modules are level 3 Moisture Sensitive Devices. When using this kind of device, consider the relative requirements in accordance with standard IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.

  • Page 66: Flux And Cleaning

    Place the component last and set the placement speed to the slowest setting. Flux and cleaning Digi recommends that a “no clean” solder paste be used in assembling these devices. This eliminates the clean step and ensures unwanted residual flux is not left under the device where it is difficult to remove.

  • Page 67: Reworking

    During rework, the device temperature may rise above its internal solder melting point and care should be taken not to dislodge internal components from their intended positions. Digi XBee® RR RF Module Hardware Reference Manual...
