4.2.2 Mounting Process
Although u-blox devices will withstand two re-flow soldering processes (T < 250°C) we strongly
max
recommend the modules not being subjected to more than one soldering process after being shipped
from u-blox thus the modules are populated on the host product in the final solder processing step.
The PCB in our modules is UL recognized ZPMV2 min. 130 °C flame class V-0 with ENIG coated
solder lands.
The modules are produced in a lead-free process with a lead-free soldering paste.
It is recommended that the customers make their own electrical, climate, stress and vibration
tests on the final assembled product to secure that the manufacturing process hasn't damaged
or affected the module in any way.
The modules are delivered in ESD bags (for small quantities) or tape-on-reel
Modules delivered on tape-on-reel are packaged in sealed drypack" bags, MSL-3
Modules delivered in ESD bag are not in a sealed drypack
The device recommended maximum re-flow temperature is 245°C for 10 sec.
The device absolute maximum re-flow temperature is 250°C for 3 sec.

5.1 CE compliance
5.1.1 Equipment classes
Depending on which frequency bands this multi-radio module can operate in it is defined as either
class-1 or class-2 radio equipment.
The End-product that utilise the module inherits the equipment class of the module.
Class-1 radio equipment can be placed on the market and put into service without restrictions.
(article 1 of Commission Decision 2000/299/EC of April 6 2000)
Class-2 radio equipment is equipment for which Member States apply restrictions as indicated in
Article 1(2) of the Decision, which also assigns the “Alert Sign” as “Equipment Class Identifier”
for this class.
This multi-radio module is defined as class-1 radio equipment when it is restricted to operate in the
following frequency bands:
Bluetooth ISM band 2400 – 2483.5 MHzclassic,
Bluetooth , ISM band 2400 – 2483.5 MHzLow Energy
WLAN, ISM band 2400 – 2483.5 MHz
WLAN, U-NII band-2e 5470 – 5725 MHz
If the end product allows the multi radio module to be operated in the band 5150 – 5350 MHz (WLAN
channel: 36 – 64) it is defined as class-2 radio equipment and must be marked accordingly.
Class-2 radio equipment must have the "alert" sign affixed on the equipment, packaging and printed
in the user instruction manual.
