7 Mounting
This chapter describes the suggested mounting process for the A2235-H GPS re-
ceiver modules. In a RoHS compliant product with a RoHS compliant process it is
recommended to use chemical tin as the counter-part to the module’s pins. This will
guarantee highest resistance against shocks.
7.1 Proposed Footprint for Soldering
The following proposal of a footprint for soldering is assuming a stencil thickness of
150µm. marks the center of the through holes.
Figure 11: Proposal of Soldering footprint
Please note that copper and solder paste footprints are identical. The final footprint
has to be evaluated and qualified by the manufacturer according to the specific
process.
7.2 PCB Design Guide
1. Drill a through hole with diameter greater than or equal to 3mm in the application
PCB which is underneath the RF feed-point to alleviate the interference from RF
signal to other part of circuitries. Besides, ground vias (says, 8) should be placed
surrounding the through hole for further shielding purpose.
