Frequently Asked Questions
What is the current and voltage rating of the SAMTEC QTE-020-01-F-D connector?
The QTE-020-01-F-D is rated at 225 VAC and 2 A per contact. These ratings make it suitable for a wide range of signal and low-power interconnect applications in industrial, telecom, and embedded computing boards where standard logic and I/O lines operate well within these limits.
Over what temperature range can the QTE-020-01-F-D reliably operate, and what environments does that cover?
The QTE-020-01-F-D operates reliably from -55°C to +125°C, covering harsh automotive underhood conditions, industrial outdoor enclosures, and military-grade applications. This 180°C span ensures the connector maintains contact integrity and dimensional stability across thermal cycling found in rugged and high-reliability deployments.
How does the gold flash contact finish on QTE-020-01-F-D benefit board stacking applications?
The gold flash mating finish on QTE-020-01-F-D provides low and stable contact resistance across multiple insertion and extraction cycles. Gold resists oxidation, maintaining reliable electrical performance even in humid or mildly corrosive environments, which is important for 40-position stacking connectors where any single contact failure can disrupt an entire signal bus.
What makes the 40-position outer shroud design of QTE-020-01-F-D suitable for compact PCB assemblies?
The outer shroud structure of the QTE-020-01-F-D aligns and protects 40 contacts during mating, preventing bent pins during assembly. With a body length of approximately 0.838 inch and surface mount termination, it fits on densely populated PCBs and is compatible with automated pick-and-place reflow soldering processes used in high-volume production.
