Description
Product identity and supplied items
Compare SIM7020E and SIM7020G solder-down NB-IoT modules. Match the suffix and release variant before choosing bands, land pattern and firmware.
The gallery contains separate SIM7020E and SIM7020G label photographs and their reverse views. The main picture is E. The G reverse has additional LGA pads; the images do not make the variants electrically interchangeable.
Confirm the full P/N, hardware/firmware revision, quantity and accessories with your quotation. A product or family photograph is not a current stock or batch inspection record.
Technical reference and variant table
SIM7020 Series Specification V:2021.12, three pages, with separate E/E-ND/E-D and G/G R13 columns. Hardware references: SIM7020 Series V1.03 (2020-06-02) for C/E and SIM7020G V1.02 (2022-03-25).
| SIM7020E | LCC, 42 pins; 17.6 x 15.7 x 2.3 mm. Bands B1/B3/B5/B8/B20/B28. Reference peak 26.15 kbps DL / 62.5 kbps UL. |
|---|---|
| SIM7020G | LCC+LGA, 77 pins; 17.6 x 15.7 x 2.3 mm. Bands B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B8/B12/B13/B17/B18/B19/B20/B25/B26/B28/B66/B70/B71/B85. Reference peak 126 kbps DL / 150 kbps UL. |
| G R13 difference | SIM7020G R13 has the same listed bands and package but 26.15 kbps DL / 62.5 kbps UL in the December 2021 specification. Confirm the actual release variant. |
| E suffix differences | E-ND and E-D are distinct columns in the archived specification. E-ND has a 3.0-3.6 V supply range, while E and E-D list 2.1-3.6 V. |
| Supply and temperature | Standard E/G reference: 2.1-3.6 V, -40 to +85 C. Follow the correct hardware guide for transients, pin voltages and operating conditions. |
| Interfaces | UART, USB, ADC and SIM functions follow the exact variant hardware guide; embedded SIM is optional. |
Selection and integration
Use the E or G land pattern and pinout, not a footprint selected only by the shared outline. PSM and eDRX depend on network settings; the three-microamp-class reference does not guarantee a ten-year end-product battery life. Historical G certificates and test reports apply to specified hardware/firmware and cannot automatically certify E or a current finished board.
Documents and compliance
Applicable compliance documents can be reviewed during enquiry follow-up against the exact hardware, firmware and destination market. A family logo, historical approval list or module certificate does not establish current certification of the quoted device or finished system. Availability, lead time and included services are confirmed in the quotation.
