Overview

The QTH-030-01-L-D-A is a high-speed, 60-position surface mount header from Samtec's Q Strip series. It features a 0.50mm pitch and an integrated ground plane designed to maintain signal integrity in high-bandwidth board-to-board applications. With a 5mm mated stack height, this connector provides a compact, low-profile interconnect solution for mezzanine-style PCB designs.

Why Choose This Part

This connector includes an integral ground bus that can also be used for power, significantly reducing crosstalk in high-speed circuits. Its 10 micro-inch gold plating ensures reliable contact performance across a wide temperature range of -55C to +125C. The inclusion of board guides aids in mechanical alignment during the assembly and mating process.

Applications

High-Speed Mezzanine Cards
Connecting daughter cards to motherboards where signal integrity and high-density pin counts are required.
FPGA Development Systems
Interfacing modular high-speed I/O or memory expansion boards to FPGA carrier boards.
Industrial Networking Equipment
Internal high-speed data routing between processing units and interface modules.
Embedded Computing
Used in COM Express or proprietary modules where low-profile stacking and reliable grounding are essential.
