KYOCERA AVX A-Series automotive antennas deliver on the key needs of  

device designers for higher functionality.  

KYOCERA AVX has completed rigorous testing to qualify the A-series  

antennas for automotive applications. Although the AEC-Q200 standard does  

not include antenna products, all testing has been done following applicable  

AEC-Q200 requirements and procedures as closely as possible. Customers  

must provide additional quality requirements, if any, to drive additional  

compliance testing.

Recommended Reflow Soldering Profile  

The recommended method for soldering the antenna to the board is forced convection reflow soldering. The following  

suggestions provide information on how to optimize the reflow process for the FR4 antenna:  

*Adjust the reflow duration to create good solder joints without raising the antenna temperature  

beyond the allowed maximum of 260° C.
