6 Manufacturing
6.1
The UC530 module is intended for SMT assembly and soldering in a Pb-free reflow process on the top side of the
PCB. Suggested solder paste stencil height is 150um minimum to ensure sufficient solder volume. If required paste
mask pad openings can be increased to ensure proper soldering and solder wetting over pads.
Use pre-heating at 150… 180°C for 60… 120 sec. Suggested peak reflow temperature is 235… 245°C (for
SnAg3.0Cu0.5 alloy). Absolute max reflow temperature is 260°C. For details see Fastrax document ‘Soldering
Profile’ ref (7).
Note that module is Electrostatic Sensitive Device (ESD).
Avoid also ultrasonic exposure due to internal crystal and SAW components.
The UC530 module meets the requirements of Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the
Council on the Restriction of Hazardous Substance (RoHS). For details contact Fastrax support.
6.2
UC530 module is moisture sensitive at MSL 3 (see the standard IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020C). The module must be
stored in the original moisture barrier bag or if the bag is opened, the module must be repacked or stored in a dry
cabin (according to the standard IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033B). Factory floor life in humid conditions is 1 week for MSL 3.
Moisture barrier bag self life is 1 year; thus it is suggested to assemble modules prior self life expiration. If the
moisture barrier bad self life is exceeded, the modules must be baked prior usage; contact Fastrax support for
details.
