Applications
The QTE-014-01-F-D-DP-A is designed for high-speed board-to-board and mezzanine interconnects in networking equipment, wireless communication modules, and high-performance computing daughter cards where signal integrity at multi-gigabit data rates is critical. Its 0.80 mm pitch ground plane architecture reduces signal crosstalk between adjacent pairs, making it suitable for differential high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, USB 3.x, and LVDS in stacked PCB assemblies. The locating posts and polarized housing assist automated assembly and prevent installation errors in high-volume production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact pitch and total position count of the QTE-014-01-F-D-DP-A?
The QTE-014-01-F-D-DP-A uses a 0.80 mm pitch and provides 28 total positions in a dual-row configuration with 14 positions per row. This fine pitch and ground-plane design support high-speed differential signaling while keeping the connector footprint compact for densely populated mezzanine PCB designs.
How does the ground plane architecture of the QTE-014-01-F-D-DP-A benefit high-speed signal integrity?
The Q Strip ground plane terminal strip places a continuous ground conductor adjacent to signal contacts at 0.80 mm pitch, reducing impedance discontinuities and crosstalk between neighboring signal pairs. This architecture supports multi-gigabit interfaces such as PCIe Gen 2 and USB 3.0 operating above 5 Gbps, where signal integrity requirements are stringent in stacked board applications.
What role do the locating posts of the QTE-014-01-F-D-DP-A play during board assembly?
The locating posts on the QTE-014-01-F-D-DP-A align the connector body to precise PCB mounting holes before soldering, ensuring all 28 contacts register accurately to their pad footprint. This prevents skew and solder bridging during reflow, which is especially important for 0.80 mm pitch connectors where misalignment of even 0.2 mm can cause assembly defects.
When should a designer choose the QTE-014-01-F-D-DP-A over a higher-pitch board-stacking connector?
The QTE-014-01-F-D-DP-A is the better choice when PCB area is limited and signal counts approach 28 contacts, making a 0.80 mm pitch connector necessary to fit within the footprint budget. Its ground plane design also provides a significant signal integrity advantage over standard 1.00 mm or 1.27 mm pitch alternatives for interfaces operating above 2 Gbps, where the tighter pitch and shielded architecture lower inter-channel crosstalk by several decibels.
