Frequently Asked Questions
How many contacts does the QTE-020-03-F-D provide and how are they arranged?
The QTE-020-03-F-D provides 40 contacts total arranged in a dual-row configuration with 20 positions per row. This dual-row layout enables high-density signal and power routing between stacked PCBs while maintaining a compact board footprint suitable for mezzanine and module-to-backplane stacking applications.
What contact materials and plating are used in the QTE-020-03-F-D?
The contacts are made from phosphor bronze, which provides excellent spring force retention over 100 or more mating cycles. The mating interface uses gold flash plating for low contact resistance, while the termination side has tin (Sn) over a nickel (Ni) barrier to ensure reliable solder joint formation during PCB assembly.
Is the QTE-020-03-F-D compliant with RoHS regulations for lead-free manufacturing?
Yes, the QTE-020-03-F-D carries a RoHS-compliant designation with a Pb-free code of Yes, meaning all materials meet EU RoHS directive restrictions on hazardous substances including lead (Pb). The tin (Sn) termination finish is fully compatible with lead-free reflow solder processes at temperatures up to 260°C.
For which PCB stacking scenarios is the QTE-020-03-F-D best suited?
This connector is best suited for rigid PCB-to-PCB stacking in embedded systems, FPGA mezzanine boards, and industrial I/O modules requiring 40 pins of parallel data, control, and power connections. Its dual-row 20-position layout makes it a practical alternative to multiple single-row connectors when board real estate is limited and a single-body mating solution is preferred.
