QTH-150-03-F-D

The QTH-150-03-F-D connector is part of a range of electrical connectors from the Rectangular Connectors - Arrays, Edge Type, Mezzanine (Board to Board) family. The connector features 3 gold plated contacts which are housed in a metallic shell with a pitch of 0.4mm (15 mil).

The key application area for this connector is in mobile telecoms and base stations. From the telecoms sector it is used in M2M, 3G and 4G applications, where it provides an efficient connection between boards and stands up to the rigours of vibration, shock, and the high temperatures common to these types of contactors. It may also be used as a replacement for an SMA or N plug connector.

This type of connector is now also increasingly used in embedded automotive applications including in Auxiliary Power Units (APU) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). Thanks to its sealed version, it can be used with confidence in harsh automotive environment.

The QTH-150-03-F-D connector is a right angle, top mountable, space saving and cost effective design. It is supplied in metal or plastic tails, it provides an efficient connection with reliable solder retention and offered in space saving versions for applications with restricted conditions.

The QTH-150-03-F-D connector is a type of electrical contactor working on the principle of surface contact. In this case, electrical contact is made through a contact area on the side of the contactor. The contact area is filled with a special contact resistance reducing material, typically made from a metal-plastic combination. This material creates a low resistance path between the connectors. This ensures a secure connection free from any voltage drop and losses.

The connectors are designed with two different types of contact. The first type is a contact surface made from a conductive material, typically copper, to ensure reliable electrical contact. The second type is a contact pad, made from a non-conductive material, designed to improve the characteristics such as accuracy, flexibility and stability.

These contact areas are held in place with a contact holder constructed from two materials. The first material provides electrical insulation while the second material prevents accidental electrical contact or short circuit. The two holders are then combined in a specific manner to ensure the desired electrical connection between the contactors.

In addition, the connector is designed with a range of different ferrule types and insulation materials. These insulation materials can range from PVC, PTFE, Teflon, Nylon or Polyester-mica. This material can be chosen based on the environment in which the contactors will be used. The ferrule material helps to ensure that the contactor is fully submerged in the substrate and that any potential vibration or shock is minimized.

The QTH-150-03-F-D connector is an all-in-one solution for connecting boards and providing a reliable electrical connection. It offers a robust and reliable connection, even under harsh environmental conditions, making it ideal for use in a variety of applications.
