The terminations extend underneath the component. They are castellations on the side of the part, but the part is soldered to pads that extend under the part.

Subject: Re: [TN] Low standoff module cleaning



I looked at the drawing which shows it sits flush to the board. Checking all the reference documentation there were no assembly recommendations relative to flux, cleaning nor were there any reflow temperature specifications given. 



 No-clean flux residue has the potential to effect the signal's performance at 2.4 Gig Hz but it appears to be the only choice since you could locally clean the leads since they are all on the perimeter. I would test a few proto types to see if cleaning was required based on the application.  



  The risk of using an OA paste would be too great with no bottom clearance, other than pad thickness, and moisture entrapment underneath could be disastrous as well. The assembly specification isn't very informative. 



  Laser soldering of this device seems to be the best solution since you have the pin level control in the soldering process. 



 Just my thoughts, I hope I didn't miss something.

We use these parts in Hi-Rel applications, but we have a local company perform compliant lead attachment prior to our assembling the components. They use a laser soldering system to perform the compliant lead attachment, so the part is not heated up. If you want to contact them here is their website www.analog-tech.com. 

The parts cannot be soldered reliably without compliant lead attachment, even with a thicker stencil. The resultant solder joints when soldering directly to the pads are known to fail after about 1000 cycles, due to the large delta CTE. 

Also, the compliant leads did not affect the performance of the package from a signal impedance standpoint, but the reliability is about 10X better. With the compliant leads, you can clean under the part. NC flux will affect the performance of the package.

Dear Technos, 



  



How many of you would solder this other than no-clean, see the -A2 option on page 7? 



  



www.meshnetics.com/ZigBit_OEM_Module_Product_Datasheet.pdf 



  



The assembled board needs to be conformally coated and will work outdoors, -25C to 60C range. 



  



One solution would be to bump the pads of the part with a thick stencil, but how high the part has to stand on the board to ensure good wash? 



  



Thanks,
