6.2 Cautions on Reflow Soldering Process
Details
1 Before proceeding with the reflow-
soldering process, the GPS module
must be pre-baked.
Suggestions
Notes
Pre-bake Time:
6 Hours @ 60°±5°C or
4 Hours @ 70°±5°C
The maximum tolerated
temperature for the tray is
100°C.
After the pre-baking
process, please make sure
the temperature is
sufficiently cooled down to
35°C or below in order to
prevent any tray
