Is the snap-in CF3 socket intended for production ?? Not sure if it is designed to meet various  
shock/vibe/drop environments (like for mobile devices).

Hi bseng,  
Please refer to below guideline  
[https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airprime/hardware\_specs\_user\_guides/airprime\_hl\_and\_wp\_series\_snap\_in\_socket\_customer\_process\_guidelines/](https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airprime/hardware_specs_user_guides/airprime_hl_and_wp_series_snap_in_socket_customer_process_guidelines/)

It mentions the snap in also for volume production and also list out the design and process recommendation.  
Maybe you should also get more details from your Sierra contact.

Hope it helps.
