Datasheet for the PA6H - Adafruit

GlobalTop TechnologyFGPMMOPA6H Data SheetDocument #Ver. V0A33Details Suggestions Notes1 Before proceeding with the reflowsolderingprocess, the GPS module mustbe pre-baked.2 Because PCBA (along with the patchantenna) is highly endothermic duringthe reflow-soldering process, extra caremust be paid to the GPS module's solderjoint to see if there are any signs of coldweld(ing) or false welding.Pre-bake Time:6 Hours @ 60°±5°C or4 Hours @ 70°±5°CThe parameters of thereflow temperaturemust be set accordinglyto module’s reflowsolderingtemperatureprofile.The maximum toleratedtemperature for the tray is100°C.After the pre-bakingprocess, please make surethe temperature issufficiently cooled down to35°C or below in order toprevent any traydeformation.Double check to see if thesurrounding componentsaround the GPS module aredisplaying symptoms ofcold weld(ing) or falsewelding.3 Special attentions are needed for PCBAboard during reflow-soldering to see ifthere are any symptoms of bending ordeformation to the PCBA board,possibility due to the weight of themodule. If so, this will cause concerns atthe latter half of the production process.A loading carrier fixturemust be used with PCBAif the reflow solderingprocess is using railconveyors for theproduction.If there is any bending ordeformation to the PCBAboard, this might causesthe PCBA to collide intoone another during theunloading process.4 Before the PCBA is going through thereflow-soldering process, the productionoperators must check by eyesight to seeif there are positional offset to themodule, because it will be difficult toreadjust after the module has gonethrough reflow-soldering process.The operators mustcheck by eyesight andreadjust the positionbefore reflow-solderingprocess.If the operator is planningto readjust the moduleposition, please do nottouch the patch antennawhile the module is hot inorder to prevent rotationaloffset between the patchantenna and moduleNote: References to patch antenna is referred to GPS modules with integrated Patch-on-topantennas (PA/Gms Module Series), and may not be applicable to all GPS modules.This document is the exclusive property of GlobalTop Tech Inc. and should not be distributed, reproduced, into any other format withoutprior permission of GlobalTop Tech Inc.
