Key Features
- High-speed ground plane header design at 0.80 mm pitch enables dense signal routing with integrated ground plane for superior signal integrity
- Gold-over-nickel contact finish on mating surfaces ensures reliable low-contact-resistance connections across thousands of mating cycles
- Dual-row 20-position board stacking configuration with tape-and-reel packaging for automated SMT pick-and-place assembly
Applications
The QTE-020-04-F-D-A-K-TR Q Strip header is designed for high-speed board-to-board stacking in telecommunications equipment, data storage arrays, and high-density computing modules where 0.80 mm pitch and ground plane integration are critical for signal integrity above 1 GHz. Its dual-row 20-position layout provides 20 signal contacts with interleaved ground contacts for crosstalk suppression in RF and mixed-signal PCB stacks. Tape-and-reel packaging makes it a natural fit for automated assembly lines producing networking cards and server backplanes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and contact count does the QTE-020-04-F-D-A-K-TR board stacking connector provide?
The QTE-020-04-F-D-A-K-TR is a 20-position dual-row Q Strip header with a 0.80 mm pitch. It features gold-over-nickel mating contacts and a ground plane architecture, making it suitable for high-frequency board stacking applications where tight pitch and signal integrity above 1 GHz are required.
How does the integrated ground plane benefit high-speed signal transmission in the QTE-020-04-F-D-A-K-TR?
The built-in ground plane in the QTE-020-04-F-D-A-K-TR reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk between adjacent signal lines at 0.80 mm pitch. This architecture supports high-speed differential and single-ended signals in server, telecom, and data-storage stacking applications requiring clean signal paths at multi-GHz frequencies.
When should a designer choose the QTE-020-04-F-D-A-K-TR over a standard 2.54 mm pitch header?
Choose the QTE-020-04-F-D-A-K-TR when board space is constrained and signal frequencies exceed a few hundred MHz. Its 0.80 mm pitch delivers 20 contacts in roughly one-third the footprint of a 2.54 mm connector, and the integrated ground plane eliminates the need for separate ground vias, reducing PCB layers and board area by several square millimeters.
