Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the QTE-020-01-F-D-A support and what stacking pitch does it accommodate?
The QTE-020-01-F-D-A provides 20 positions in a dual-row plug configuration, with a body length of 0.838 inch and body breadth of 0.235 inch. Its board stacking connector design supports precise vertical board-to-board mating at consistent stack heights, making it suitable for multi-board systems where controlled inter-board spacing is required for RF shielding or thermal management.
What does the ELP and polarization feature on the QTE-020-01-F-D-A offer compared to standard board stacking connectors?
The ELP (Extended Life Plating) on QTE-020-01-F-D-A provides a thicker, harder contact finish that withstands significantly more insertion cycles than standard gold or tin plating, typically rated for hundreds to over 1,000 mating cycles. The polarization feature with locating posts prevents reverse insertion across all 20 positions, reducing assembly errors by 100% in automated manufacturing lines.
Which high-density system designs most benefit from specifying QTE-020-01-F-D-A for board stacking?
Systems requiring compact vertical PCB stacking with high signal density benefit most from the QTE-020-01-F-D-A. Server blades, FPGA mezzanine cards, industrial PLC modules, and embedded single-board computer stacks that require reliable 20-contact dual-row interfaces are ideal candidates. The connector's 0.168 inch body depth minimizes stack height while maintaining signal integrity across all 20 positions.
