To prevent adverse impact on the antenna radiation performance, avoid copper or traces along the antenna area on the PCB. For details about the onboard PCB antenna area on WB2L, see Figure 6-1. 6 Packaging Information and Production Instructions 6.1 Mechanical Dimensions The PCB dimensions (H x W x D) are 2.80.15 mm x 17.30.35 mm x 150.35 mm.

Figure 6-4 shows the pin header dimensions. Figure 6-4 WB2L pin header dimensions Hangzhou Tuya Information Technology Co., Ltd. 13 V1.0.0 WB2L Datasheet Figure 6-5 Layout of the PCB to which WB2L applies 6.3 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. Storage conditions for a delivered module are as follows:
(1) The moisture-proof bag is placed in an environment where the temperature is below 30C and the relative humidity is lower than 70%. Hangzhou Tuya Information Technology Co., Ltd. 14 V1.0.0 WB2L Datasheet
(2) The shelf life of a dry-packaged product is six months from the date when the product is packaged and sealed.
(3) The package contains a humidity indicator card (HIC). Figure 6-6 HIC for WB2L package:
hours. 3. Bake a module based on HIC status as follows when you unpack the module
(1) If the 30%, 40%, and 50% circles are blue, bake the module for 2 consecutive
(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. 4. Baking settings:
(1) Baking temperature: 1255C
(2) Alarm temperature: 130C
(3) SMT placement ready temperature after natural cooling: < 36C
(4) Number of drying times: 1
(5) Rebaking condition: The module is not soldered within 12 hours after baking. 5. 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. 6. Before SMT placement, take electrostatic discharge (ESD) protective measures. 7. 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 Hangzhou Tuya Information Technology Co., Ltd. 15 V1.0.0 WB2L Datasheet batches for visual inspection and AOI. 6.4 Recommended Oven Temperature Curve 1. Perform SMT placement based on the following reflow oven temperature curve. The highest temperature is 245C.
