If the voltage is lower than the threshold, the module might fail to start. If the voltage is higher than the
threshold or there is a voltage burst during the startup, the module might be damaged permanently.

If you use LDO or DC-DC to supply power for the module, ensure that it outputs at least 2.5 A current.

If the module works in an environment where the temperature exceeds the thresholds of the operating
temperature range, some of its RF performance indicators might be worse but it can still work properly.

4.3 ESD Protection

Electronics need to pass ESD tests. The following table shows the ESD capability of key pins of this
module. It is recommended to add ESD protection based on the application scenarios to ensure product
quality when designing a product.

If the module is exposed to air for more than 48 hours at conditions not worse than 30°C/60% RH,
bake it at a temperature higher than 90 degrees for more than 12 hours before SMT. Or, if the indication
card shows humidity greater than 20%, the baking procedure is also required. Do not bake modules
with the package tray directly.

7.4 Solder Paste

The quality of the solder joint depends on the solder paste volume and the PCB flatness.

Do not use the kind of solder paste different from our module technique.

⚫ The melting temperature of solder paste with lead is 35 °C lower than that of solder paste
without lead. It is easy to cause voiding for LGA and LCC inside the module after the second
reflow soldering.
⚫ When using only solder pastes with lead, please ensure that the reflow temperature is kept at
220 °C for more than 45 seconds and the peak temperature reaches 240 °C.

7.5 SMT Furnace Temperature Curve

Thin or long PCB might bend during SMT. So, use loading tools during the SMT and reflow soldering
process to avoid poor solder joint caused by PCB bending.

Figure 7-3 SMT furnace temperature curve

Technical parameters:

⚫ Ramp up rate: 1 to 4 °C/sec

Ramp down rate: -3 to -1 °C/sec
⚫ Soaking zone: 150-180 °C, Time: 60-100 s
⚫ Reflow zone: >220 °C, Time: 40-90 s
⚫ Peak temperature: 235-245 °C

Chapter 7 Mounting N58 Onto Application PCB

Neoway will not provide a warranty for heat-responsive element abnormalities caused by improper
temperature control.

For information about cautions in N58 storage and mounting, refer to Neoway Module Reflow
Manufacturing Recommendations.

When manually desoldering the module, use heat guns with great opening, adjust the temperature to
245 °C (depending on the type of the solder paste), and heat the module till the solder paste is melt.
Then remove the module using tweezers. Do not shake the module in high temperatures while
removing it. Otherwise, the components inside the module might get misplaced.
