How do you test SMD bluetooth modules without soldering them to a PCB?

I am making PCB prototype with components and a WT51822-S2 bluetooth module, which can be soldered on easily but desoldered hardly. Is there a way to test SMD modules without actually soldering them on the pcb?

You can get special spring clips for castellated pads, too.

If you would like to know how many insertions/removals they’d be good for in a production test environment, you can ask your mass production supplier for help. They’re really meant as an engineering tool for evaluation

What Others Are Asking

Is it advisable to avoid vias in a PCB layout as much as possible?

When we design PCB, for some layout can, via is dispensable. Particularly if the PCB has more than 2 layers, should I make it?

How do you handle a PCB that didn’t print correctly?

I did have one board come back with a manufacturer error – an extra bit of copper just a hair’s width across hidden underneath a component. It looked almost like someone’s eyelash had fallen onto the board just before photo etch. How should I deal with it?
