Samtec’s new right angle Q Rate connector system is ideal
for micro backplane and other high speed applications where space is limited
but performance cannot be sacrificed. The high speed, slim body system is
equipped with an industry standard ground/power plane and Samtec’s rugged,
signal integrity-optimized, Edge Rate contacts.
The ground/power plane of the QRM8-RA and QRF8-RA Series
allows the contacts to be placed closer together without degrading signal
performance. The result is a slim 5mm body design to help minimize PCB real
estate for limited space applications.
The smooth, broad, milled surface of the Edge Rate contacts
increases wear life and minimizes the effects of broadside coupling, which
decreases crosstalk for superior signal integrity performance and impedance
control. This contact system is also robust when mating and unmating, and
features a long contact wipe, which improves the mating angle tolerance.
The 0,8mm pitch right angle system is dual-row and available
in 1, 2 or 3 banks with up to 78 positions per row. Optional guide posts for
blind mating are also available.
This new addition to the Q Rate family allows greater
flexibility by providing a solution for coplanar and perpendicular
applications. The space-saving Q Rate connector is also available in a vertical
orientation with stack heights from 7 to 14 mm.
