Key Features
- 60-position dual-row plug on 0.50 mm pitch enables ultra-high-density board-stacking with controlled impedance signal paths for high-speed digital interfaces
- Positioning pin (K suffix) ensures precise board-to-board registration during SMT assembly, reducing misalignment risk on high-pin-count connectors
- Tape-and-reel (TR suffix) packaging supports automated pick-and-place assembly, with a 2-week lead time and RoHS-compliant materials
Applications
The QTH-030-02-L-D-A-K-TR is suited for high-density board-stacking applications in data-center network line cards, communications modules, and FPGA daughtercard assemblies where a large number of high-speed signals must cross between PCBs in a compact footprint. Its 0.50 mm pitch and positioning pin make it a reliable choice for mezzanine card designs that undergo automated SMT assembly and require precise mechanical alignment across 60 positions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and what pitch does the QTH-030-02-L-D-A-K-TR provide for board-stacking applications?
The QTH-030-02-L-D-A-K-TR is a 60-position dual-row board-stacking plug on a 0.50 mm pitch, housed in a body measuring approximately 0.787 × 0.286 inches. Its fine pitch enables routing of 60 high-speed signals in a footprint smaller than a standard 0.100" pitch 30-position header, making it ideal for space-constrained mezzanine card designs.
What role does the positioning pin (K suffix) play during PCB assembly and mating of the QTH-030-02-L-D-A-K-TR?
The positioning pin locks the connector body to the PCB at a precise location before reflow soldering, preventing the 60-position dual-row SMT plug from shifting during paste application and oven processing. After assembly, it also serves as a mechanical keying feature to ensure the mating QSH receptacle engages at the correct orientation, reducing the risk of 0.50 mm pitch contact damage from misalignment.
Why is tape-and-reel (TR) packaging important for the QTH-030-02-L-D-A-K-TR in a high-volume assembly line?
Tape-and-reel packaging enables automated pick-and-place machines to place each QTH-030-02-L-D-A-K-TR at rates exceeding several thousand parts per hour with position accuracy better than 0.1 mm, which is critical for reliably landing the 0.50 mm pitch contacts on their PCB pads. This eliminates the manual tube-feed or tray-feed steps that add cost and increase placement error rates in high-volume production.
