WP series module/ snap in socket unified footprint

IoT Modules WP Series

Need recommendation how to unify in layout two below footprints:

WP76XX module footprint as defined here: https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airprime/hardware_specs_user_guides/wp-cad-files-swi/

Snap in WP socket as defined here:

https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airprime/hardware_specs_user_guides/hl-wp-snap-in-socket-cad-files-swi/

My solution was to preserve solder paste for all GND pads of the module that does not exist in socket , despite the solder paste recommendation on page 24 (figure 13) of Sierra snap in socket manual.

Is this acceptable solution?

Mark.

Mark,
Did you ever get a reply to this? I’m running into the same issue the solder paste they show for the socket doesn’t seem to match the actual module and is excluding the GND pins.
Thanks,
Joe
