eSIM - SIM-S-IO3-MFF2-2-LP

[EUROSEA]

Hello,

I am trying to mount the following eSIM on the Thingy91, is there anything we need to tweak with the firmware or anything else required for the board to recognise the component?

The details of the eSIM are on the link below

Thanks again.

Hello, 

No, if the MFF2 SIM is the only present SIM, this should be detected automatically. Are you having any issues with the SIM?

Kind regards,

Hello Øyvind, I am having some issues regarding the soldering of the iSIM´s since there a few 0201 components around the mounting area. I wanted to use hot air soldering but, I dont think this would be appropriate, is there any other method you would suggest for soldering the MFF2 eSIM? 

If you know anyone whole could help in Europe then please let me know, I could send it to them for soldering.

Thank you.

Hi Amit, 

One method is to use Kapton tape to work as "soldering mask" and to shield the components that you concerned about, and then add a lot of flux on the pads. 

You could have a look at our Nordic Partner Program to see if there are some companies around you. I do not have any other overview I'm afraid. 

Kind regards,
Øyvind
