What are the key features of QTE-020-05-L-D-A?
- 20-position dual-row Q Strip board stacking header at 0.80 mm pitch with integrated ground plane for high-speed signal integrity above 1 Gbps
- Polarized ELP (Extended Logical Pattern) design with locating posts ensures single-orientation mating and prevents connector damage during assembly or field servicing
- 10 µin gold over 50 µin nickel mating contacts on phosphor bronze for corrosion resistance and reliable low contact resistance across extended operating temperature range
What is QTE-020-05-L-D-A used for?
The QTE-020-05-L-D-A is designed for high-speed board-to-board and mezzanine stacking applications in networking equipment, FPGA evaluation boards, and telecommunications blade servers where controlled-impedance 20-pin dual-row connectivity is required at 0.80 mm pitch. The ELP polarized, locating-post design ensures error-free mating in field-replaceable module systems, reducing assembly mistakes in complex multi-board chassis. Its Q Strip ground plane architecture supports differential signaling at multi-gigabit data rates while maintaining a compact footprint for high-density PCB designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contact finish and pitch does the QTE-020-05-L-D-A provide for high-speed board stacking?
The QTE-020-05-L-D-A uses 10 µin gold plated over 50 µin nickel on phosphor bronze contacts, arranged at a 0.80 mm pitch across 20 dual-row positions. This gold-over-nickel finish provides stable contact resistance below 20 milliohms and supports reliable mating performance in high-speed interfaces at data rates exceeding 1 Gbps per channel.
How does the ELP polarized locating-post design of QTE-020-05-L-D-A prevent assembly errors in multi-board systems?
The ELP (Extended Logical Pattern) polarization combined with locating posts creates a physical keying scheme that forces the 20-pin board stacking connector into a single correct orientation, preventing 180-degree mis-insertion that could short power and ground pins or damage differential signal pairs. This mechanical design is particularly valuable in field-replaceable blade assemblies where 3.3 V, 5 V, or 12 V supply pins are adjacent to signal pins across the 0.80 mm pitch footprint.
When would a designer choose the 0.80 mm pitch QTE-020-05-L-D-A over a 1.27 mm pitch alternative for mezzanine stacking?
When board area constraints require fitting 20 dual-row stacking connections into less than 17 mm of PCB length, the 0.80 mm pitch of QTE-020-05-L-D-A achieves roughly 37 percent space savings compared to a 1.27 mm pitch equivalent. The Q Strip ground plane architecture also provides better crosstalk isolation between differential pairs at data rates above 3 Gbps, making it preferable to 1.27 mm alternatives in high-speed telecom or networking designs where both density and signal integrity are non-negotiable.
