Frequently Asked Questions
How many circuits does the QTE-040-03-F-D-A-K-TR provide and in what configuration?
The QTE-040-03-F-D-A-K-TR is an 80-position connector arranged in a dual-row configuration, offering 40 contacts per row. This dual-row layout maximizes circuit density within a compact footprint, suitable for high-bandwidth board-to-board interconnects in embedded computing modules.
What mating contact finish does the QTE-040-03-F-D-A-K-TR use and for which cycle requirements is it appropriate?
The connector uses gold flash over nickel on its mating contacts, suitable for applications requiring 25 to 50 mating cycles rather than high-cycle environments. For designs needing 500+ cycles, Samtec offers versions with 30 µin gold plating. The tin-over-nickel termination handles standard lead-free soldering at 260 °C.
Does the QTE-040-03-F-D-A-K-TR support automated pick-and-place assembly?
Yes. The TR suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging, making the QTE-040-03-F-D-A-K-TR directly compatible with automated pick-and-place equipment. This reduces placement error on high-volume PCB lines and is paired with a 1-week factory lead time for rapid replenishment.
When should a designer choose QTE-040-03-F-D-A-K-TR over a lower-density 40-position single-row alternative?
When a design requires 80 circuits but board length is constrained, the dual-row QTE-040-03-F-D-A-K-TR provides double the circuit density of a 40-position single-row connector within the same linear board space, reducing the connector footprint length by approximately 50%.
