Design Recommendations

• Keep out enough area for the chip antenna.
• Avoid any routing under antenna area as shown in the below image.
• Better to place the module away from High frequency circuitry like other RF, and large components or metallic objects.
• All GND pins must be well grounded.
• The area around the module should be free of any ground planes, power planes, trace routings or metal for 6 mm from the module antenna position in all directions.
• Better not to route any traces underneath the module.
• The WIM1481 series modules contain highly sensitive electronic circuitry and are Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESD). Handling the WIM series modules without proper ESD protection may destroy or damage them permanently.

Soldering Information

Leadfree reflow soldering

Do not exceed peak temperature (Tp) of 242°C. Time at maximum temperature is 27 seconds. After reflow soldering, optical inspection of the module is recommended to verify proper alignment. Hand soldering is also possible.

Cleaning
In general, cleaning the populated modules is strongly discouraged. Residuals under the module cannot be easily removed with any cleaning process.

1. Cleaning with water can lead to capillary effects where water is absorbed into the gap between the host board and the module. The combination of soldering flux residuals and encapsulated water could lead to short circuits between neighboring pads. Water could also damage any stickers or labels.
2. Cleaning with alcohol or a similar organic solvent will likely flood soldering flux residuals into the RF shield, which is not accessible for post-washing inspection. The solvent could also damage any stickers or labels.

Packaging Information

Tape Dimensions

All dimensions are in mm

Direction of Feed Reel Information A full reel can hold 1000 modules and weighs approximately 1100 gm (including the modules). The module antennas are packed separately and supplied along with the modules.

Please note:

1. Tape material: Conductive Polystyrene; Black; 0.4mm thickness
2. All tape and sprocket hole dimensioning are as per EIA-481 unless otherwise stated
3. Order volume less than a full reel will be supplied on cut tape (without a reel)

Precautions

• While integrating module, make sure all the pads are soldered properly.
• Please use a voltage regulator if the power supply is above the max ratings.
• For best wireless signals, please avoid packing the antenna close to metal parts or cases.
• Stresses above the listed maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device.
