Antenna Information

Antenna Type

SS3L uses a spring antenna or an external antenna. By default, SS3L uses an external antenna with an I-PEX connector.

Antenna Interference Reduction

To ensure optimal performance when the module uses a spring antenna, it is recommended that the antenna be at least 15 mm away from other metal parts. To prevent adverse impact on the antenna radiation performance, avoid copper or traces along the antenna area on the PCB.

Production Instructions

  1. Use an SMT placement machine to mount the stamp hole module that Tuya produces onto the PCB within 24 hours after the module is unpacked and the firmware is burned. If not, vacuum pack the module again. Bake the module before mounting it onto the PCB. (1) SMT placement equipment i. Reflow soldering machine ii. Automated optical inspection (AOI) equipment iii. Nozzle with a 6 mm to 8 mm diameter (2) Baking equipment i. Cabinet oven ii. Anti-static heat-resistant trays iii. Anti-static heat-resistant gloves

  2. Bake a module based on HIC status as follows when you unpack the module package: (1) If the 30%, 40%, and 50% circles are blue, bake the module for 2 consecutive hours. (2) If the 30% circle is pink, bake the module for 4 consecutive hours. (3) If the 30% and 40% circles are pink, bake the module for 6 consecutive hours. (4) If the 30%, 40%, and 50% circles are pink, bake the module for 12 consecutive hours.

  3. Baking settings: (1) Baking temperature: 125±5°C (2) Alarm temperature: 130°C (3) SMT placement ready temperature after natural cooling: < 36°C (4) Number of drying times: 1 (5) Rebaking condition: The module is not soldered within 12 hours after baking.

  4. Do not use SMT to process modules that have been unpacked for over three months. Electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) is used for the PCBs. If the solder pads are exposed to the air for over three months, they will be oxidized severely and dry joints or solder skips may occur. Tuya is not liable for such problems and consequences.

  5. Before SMT placement, take electrostatic discharge (ESD) protective measures.

  6. To reduce the reflow defect rate, draw 10% of the products for visual inspection and AOI before first SMT placement to determine a proper oven temperature and component placement method. Draw 5 to 10 modules every hour from subsequent batches for visual inspection and AOI.
