    16.0 mm x 12.2 mm, 500 pieces/reel 4.3 Package Description The UM620N modules use carrier tape and reel (suitable for mainstream surface mount devices), packaged in vacuum-sealed aluminum foil antistatic bags, with a desiccant inside to prevent moisture. When using reflow soldering process to solder the modules, please strictly comply with IPC standard to conduct temperature and humidity control.
  • Page 17: Clean

    Width: 24 mm Thickness: 2.0 mm Carrier Tape Space between (center-to-center distance): 20 mm UM620N modules are rated at MSL level 3. Please refer to the relevant IPC/JEDEC standards for baking requirements. Users may access to the website www.jedec.org get more information.
  • Page 18: Reflow Soldering

    6 Reflow Soldering In order to avoid the device falling off, the module should be placed on the top of the main board during soldering. Reflow soldering temperature curve is recommended as shown in figure 6-1 below (M705-GRN360 is recommended for solder paste). Note: The module can only be soldered once.
