What is QTH-030-04-F-D-A used for?
The QTH-030-04-F-D-A is used in high-density board stacking designs for computing modules, FPGAs, and SOM carrier boards where dozens of signals must cross between two parallel PCBs within a minimal footprint. The polarized positioning pin prevents mis-mating during assembly, critical in automated PCB stacking for server blades, industrial controllers, and communication equipment. Its compact 4-row layout allows high signal density on small-form-factor modules while maintaining a reliable mated connection in vibration-prone environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the polarized positioning pin on the QTH-030-04-F-D-A prevent assembly errors in high-volume PCB stacking?
The polarized positioning pin on the QTH-030-04-F-D-A physically prevents the connector from being inserted in an incorrect orientation. In automated board assembly with pick-and-place robots handling hundreds of units per hour, this mechanical keying eliminates the risk of reversed connector mating that would short 60 signal pins to wrong nets, reducing rework cost on high-density 4-layer to 8-layer PCBs significantly.
How many positions does the QTH-030-04-F-D-A carry and what physical dimensions does the housing occupy?
The QTH-030-04-F-D-A is a 60-position 4-row connector measuring 0.789 inch (20 mm) in length and 0.235 inch (6 mm) in breadth, with a depth of 0.6 inch (15.2 mm). This body accommodates 60 contacts at 0.5 mm pitch across 4 rows, delivering a signal density of 3 contacts per millimeter of PCB width — approximately 3× the density of a 1.27 mm pitch dual-row connector.
In what types of module and SOM designs does the QTH-030-04-F-D-A board stacking connector provide the most advantage?
SOM (System on Module) carrier boards, FPGA mezzanine cards, and industrial computing blades benefit most from the QTH-030-04-F-D-A. These designs require 60 or more differential pairs, power rails, and control signals to cross between a small module (typically 40 mm × 70 mm) and a larger carrier board. The 4-row 0.5 mm pitch format fits this interface in a fraction of the space needed by 2-row 1.27 mm pitch alternatives.
What is the typical lead time for the QTH-030-04-F-D-A and how does that compare to similar high-density stacking connectors?
The QTH-030-04-F-D-A has a factory lead time of approximately 2 weeks and 6 days from SAMTEC, which is notably shorter than many precision high-density stacking connectors that carry 8 to 16 week lead times from competing manufacturers. This rapid availability supports just-in-time production scheduling for prototype runs of 50 to 500 units and helps reduce inventory carrying costs for contract electronics manufacturers.
