4.3 Mounting TX62/TX82 onto the Application Platform
This section describes how to mount TX62/TX82 onto the PCBs, including land pattern and
stencil design, board-level characterization, soldering conditions, durability and mechanical
handling. For more information on issues related to SMT module integration see also [4].
Note: To avoid short circuits between signal tracks on an external application's PCB and vari-
ous markings at the bottom side of the module (see Figure 53 and Figure 56), it is recommend-
ed not to route the signal tracks on the top layer of an external PCB directly under the module,
or at least to ensure that signal track routes are sufficiently covered with solder resist.
4.3.1 SMT PCB Assembly
4.3.1.1 Land Pattern and Stencil
The land pattern and stencil design as shown below is based on Thales characterizations for
lead-free solder paste on a four-layer test PCB and a 110 micron thick stencil.
The land pattern given in Figure 57 and Figure 58 reflects the module‘s pad layout, including
signal pads and ground pads (for pad assignment see Section 2.1.1).
