The Q Strip® connectors have surface mount signal contacts as well as a surface mount ground plane between the two rows of signals for improved electrical performance. Mated sets of the Q Strip® connectors are available in 8 different stack heights from 5 mm (.197") to 30 mm (1.180"). Options include guide posts for blind mate scenarios as well as alignment pins and locking clips for proper connector placement before reflow.
Samtec Q Strip® high-speed ground plane connectors are designed for high-speed board-to-board applications where signal integrity is essential.
