Esd Protection; Operation And Storage Temperatures - Quectel EG060K Series Hardware Design

6.5. ESD Protection

Static electricity occurs naturally and it may damage the module. Therefore, applying proper ESD
countermeasures and handling methods is imperative. For example, wear anti-static gloves during the
development, production, assembly and testing of the module; add ESD protection components to the
ESD sensitive interfaces and points in the product design.

Within operating temperature range, the module is 3GPP compliant.

To meet this extended temperature range, additional thermal dissipation improvements are required, such as passive or
active heatsink, heat-pipe, vapor chamber, cold-plate etc. Within this extended temperature range, the module remains the
ability to establish and maintain functions such as voice, SMS, emergency call, etc., without any unrecoverable
malfunction. Radio spectrum and radio network are not influenced, while one or more specifications, such as Pout, may
undergo a reduction in value, exceeding the specified tolerances of 3GPP. When the temperature returns to the normal
operating temperature level, the module will meet 3GPP specifications again.
