QTE Datasheet, PDF (7/8 Pages) Samtec, Inc – 0,80 mm (.0315”) Q Strip® High Speed Ground Plane Socket / Terminal Strips

Product Specification
Series: QSE / QTE 0,80 mm (.0315”) Q Strip^® High Speed Ground Plane Socket / Terminal Strips
7.5 Stencil Thickness: The recommended stencil thickness is .006” (0,15 mm).
7.6 Placement: Machine placement of the parts is recommended.
7.7 Reflow Environment: Samtec recommends the use of a low level oxygen environment (typically achieved through
Nitrogen gas infusion) in the reflow process to improve solderability.
7.8 Rework Guidelines: Samtec recommends following these rework guidelines as needed: QXX/BXX Connector
Rework Methods
7.9 Hardware: Board-to-board standoffs are recommended to provide a robust mechanical connection. Samtec offers
two different types:
7.9.1 Traditional Standoffs (SO) – Rigid design to statically support board-to-board applications. See
options here: SO - Board Stacking Standoff
7.9.2
Jack Screw Standoffs (JSO) – Serve same function as traditional standoffs but unique, nested
construction facilitates the mating and unmating process. This is especially helpful for multiple
connector applications where the mating and unmating forces increase with the number of
connectors used. See options here: JSO - Jack Screw Standoffs
7.10 Cleaning: Samtec, Inc. has verified that our connectors may be cleaned in accordance with the solvents and
conditions designated in the EIA-364-11A standard.
8.0 DIRECTION OF BOARD TRAVEL THROUGH REFLOW OVEN
8.1 To minimize the potential for connector warpage, Samtec recommends the layout configuration shown below left.
This allows the connectors to heat more evenly.
