9.2. Manufacturing and Soldering
Push the squeegee to apply the solder paste on the surface of stencil, thus making the paste fill the
stencil openings and then penetrate to the PCB. The force on the squeegee should be adjusted properly
so as to produce a clean stencil surface on a single pass. To ensure the module soldering quality,
the thickness of stencil for the module is recommended to be 0.18mm. For more details, please refer to
document [3].

It is suggested that the peak reflow temperature is from 235ºC to 245ºC (for SnAg3.0Cu0.5 alloy). The
absolute maximum reflow temperature is 260ºC. To avoid damage to the module caused by repeated
heating, it is suggested that the module should be mounted after reflow soldering for the other side of
PCB has been completed. Recommended reflow soldering thermal profile is shown below:
