What are the key features of QTE-040-04-L-D-A?
- 40-position dual-row board stacking connector with right-angle (L) surface-mount termination for low-profile card-to-card assemblies
- Gold (10 µin) over nickel (50 µin) contact finish ensuring low contact resistance and corrosion resistance over thousands of mating cycles
- E.L.P. polarized design with positioning pin preventing mis-insertion in automated assembly and field maintenance
What is QTE-040-04-L-D-A used for?
The QTE-040-04-L-D-A is used in board-to-board stacking assemblies for embedded computing modules, industrial SBC carrier boards, and test fixture backplanes where 40 signals must route horizontally between PCBs in a compact right-angle orientation. Its polarized E.L.P. design with positioning pin prevents mis-mating during field replacement, reducing service errors in deployed industrial and medical hardware. The gold-over-nickel contact finish maintains reliable electrical continuity across the full rated number of mating cycles in environments with humidity and temperature variation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the QTE-040-04-L-D-A provide, and how are they physically arranged?
The QTE-040-04-L-D-A provides 40 positions arranged in 2 rows on a standard SAMTEC QTE pitch, with a body length of 1.575 inches and body depth of 0.601 inches, accommodating 20 contacts per row in a right-angle dual-row SMT board stacking footprint designed for horizontal card-to-card interconnects.
What contact plating does the QTE-040-04-L-D-A use, and why is gold plating important for long-term reliability?
The QTE-040-04-L-D-A uses 10 µin of gold over 50 µin of nickel on mating contact surfaces. Gold prevents oxide formation that increases contact resistance over time, ensuring stable milliohm-level connection resistance across thousands of mating cycles and in humid or corrosive industrial environments where base-metal contacts would degrade within months.
In which embedded computing or industrial applications is the polarized QTE-040-04-L-D-A board stacking connector most appropriate?
The QTE-040-04-L-D-A is most appropriate for COM Express carrier-to-module interfaces, industrial SBC I/O expansion boards, and medical imaging daughtercards where 40 mixed signal and power lines must interconnect between stacked PCBs separated by 4 mm stack height, and where the polarized positioning pin ensures correct orientation during both factory assembly and field service replacement.
