Products & services

Q Strip® High Speed Strips With Integral Groundplane
Samtec Q Strip® mezzanine connectors are designed for high-speed board-to-board applications where signal integrity is essential. Q Strip connectors feature surface mount signal contacts as well as a surface mount ground plane between the two rows of signal pins for improved electrical performance. The integral ground plane can be used to maximize bandwidth and signal integrity, or it can be used as a power plane. If used for power, the ground plane can handle 23 to 25 amps, depending on the product series. These connectors are rated at 28 Gbps at a 5mm stack height. Q Strip products are available on three different pitches: 0.50 mm pitch, the QTH and QSH series 0.80 mm pitch, the QTE and QSE series and 0.635 mm pitch, the QTS and QSS series They are available in vertical (parallel), perpendicular (right angle, or 90°), and horizontal (or coplanar) designs. Mated connector sets are available in 8 different stack heights from 5 mm (.197") to 25 mm (.984”). Up to 180 total I/Os are available, depending on the centerline. Q Strip products can be routed as single ended or in differential pair configurations. They are also available with every third pin pulled for differential pair applications (designate the -DP option in the part number). Standard features include polarization, alignment pins for proper placement on the PCB, guide posts on right angle and edge mount designs, weld tabs to increase the mechanical strength of the part to the board, and optional latching clips. All Q Strip products are RoHS compliant. Common applications for Q Strip products include, but are not limited to, servers, network systems like routers, switches, hubs, bridges, industrial controls and equipment, computers and peripherals, test and measurement, multi-chip modules, and high resolution graphics devices, to name a few. A complete line of high speed cable assemblies that mate with Q Strip board level connectors is also available.

SEARAY™ High-Density Arrays Maximize Routing and Grounding Flexibility
These high speed, high density open-pin-field arrays (SEAM, SEAF), on a 1.27 mm pitch grid, allow maximum grounding and routing flexibility. Interconnect systems are available with up to 560 single-ended I/Os or 140 differential pairs, and in stack heights from 7 to 40 mm. The rugged Edge Rate® contact system is less prone to damage when “zippered” during unmating. SEARAY is available in parallel, perpendicular (right angle), and coplanar (horizontal) orientations. Solder charges are standard on each tail for ease of processing, to create IPC-A-610F and IPC J-STD-001F Class 3 solder joints. Press-fit tails are also available. High-speed cable assemblies for 50 Ω or 100 Ω solutions are available. VITA Standards specify configurations of SEARAY high-speed array products for VITA 57.1, VITA 57.4, and VITA 74.
