QTE-040-01-L-D-FL

Rectangular Connectors - Arrays, Edge Type, Mezzanine (Board to Board)

QTE-040-01-L-D-FL is a type of rectangular connector that is utilized widely across industries to connect boards together. It is a part of arrays, edge type, mezzanine (board to board) connector family and is largely employed in industrial automation controls, consumer electronics, medical devices, and communications systems.

QTE-040-01-L-D-FL connectors are designed to provide a uniform signal transfer in applications that have high reliability requirements and vibration conditions. The design of the connector features discrete contacts arranged in several rows that are capable of carrying a wide range of signals, power, and data transfer capabilities. The connector is mounted on the edge of the board or at the board-to-board interface.

The working principle of the QTE-040-01-L-D-FL connector is based on the electrical continuity between the female connector contacts located on the host board and the male contacts located on the daughter board. When the outer housings of the two connectors are mated, the female contacts automatically align themselves with the male contacts precisely.

As the female contacts slide down the ramps of the male contacts, the contacts make an electrical connection between the two boards. The snap-in pins within the female housing provide a snug fit and secure the male and female housings together. The contact forces ensure that the electrical connection is reliable and the signal transmission is uninterrupted.

The QTE-040-01-L-D-FL connector also features metal lances that are designed to be inserted into the plated through holes on the board. The lances are soldered to ensure that the connector is firmly mounted to the host board and that the electrical continuity is maintained. The metal lances also prevent damage to the female contacts while the connector is being mated and un-mated. The design of the circuit ensures robust signal transmission and protection from external vibration, shock, moist, and dust.

QTE-040-01-L-D-FL connectors are cost-effective and a reliable option for connecting boards together. They have a compact design and minimal profile height, which helps them to fit snugly in a variety of applications. In addition to providing excellent electrical characteristics and reliability, these connectors also come with a variety of mounting and assembly options, which makes them an ideal for many different types of applications.
