QTE-020-04-F-D-A

QTE-020-04-F-D-A is an array of edge type mezzanine board to board connectors between two PCBs. The part number is a standard rectangular type edge connector and consists of four rows. Each row has four positions with four open sockets. It is used to connect two PCBs in the development of signal interconnect and communication. This type of mezzanine board to board connectors is available with a pitch size of 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) and a band height of 0.220 inch (5.59 mm).

These rectangular connectors are an array type, which provides connection points to both the top side and the bottom side of the edge type boards. The board-to-board connector is then connected to the PCBs. This array has metal fingers that make contact to the board trace patterns. Each finger usually has a crimp terminal. The contact surface is gold plated and the insulation material is either nylon or thermoplastic. It has a ground plate between each row of contacts and ground tabs along the sides of the connector that can be soldered to the PCB.

The working principle of the QTE-020-04-F-D-A is that the contact is turned to the assembly direction and held in place as the contact is crimped to the PCB. The lips of the contact move with the board surface and have two locking buttons. When the contact lips are pushed in, the lower part moves in the assembly direction and locks the contact onto the board. The locking buttons hold the contact in place until the crimp is complete. The contact is then rotated back to the normal position.

The QTE-020-04-F-D-A can be used in the medical, military/aerospace, automotive, telecommunication, and general industrial markets. It is an appropriate solution for non-floating, electronic systems requiring PCB-to-PCB connections. It increases the connection density of two or more PCBs by reducing the mounting space required between boards. This connector has high retention force that ensures the connection is retained against vibration and mechanical shock. It provides customers robust connections with low electrical resistance.

The QTE-020-04-F-D-A is a rectangular array of edge type mezzanine board to board connectors. It provides a cost-effective solution with a low profile design and a simple assembly process. The connectors are secure and provide reliable connections along the board edges. It offers a wide variety of industrial applications to meet the needs of both commercial and industrial customers.
