Q Strip® High Speed Mezzanine

Samtec Q Strip mezzanine connectors are designed for high speed board-to-board applications where signal integrity is essential. These interconnects are available on three different pin pitches (.5 mm, .635 mm, .8 mm).

Q Strip connectors have surface-mount signal contacts as well as an integral surface mount ground/power plane between the two rows of signals for improved electrical performance. This ground/power plane is rated at 8.9 A at 80˚C. Mated sets of the Q Strip connectors are available in eight stack heights from 5 mm (.197”) to 30 mm (1.180”). Options include guideposts for blind mate scenarios as well as alignment pins and locking clips for proper connector placement before reflow.

Versions are also available specifically for differential pair applications (Q Pairs^®). The “–DP” option is available with up to 20 differential pairs per bank for a total of up to 100 pairs (5 banks) per interconnect.
