Connector Overview
Q2™ High-Speed Rugged Ground Plane Terminal/Socket Strip, 0.635mm (0.0250'')
pitch interfaces (QMS/QFS Series) are available with up to 104 contacts per row.
QMS/QFS series connecter styles include double row vertical, right angle and edgemount styles. The data in this report is applicable only to QFS right angle connector
mated to QMS vertical connector.
There are two terminal types in the right angle connector and each terminal has slightly
different performance. The terminology used in this report to define which connector
terminal is as follows:
*The short terminal of the connector is referred to as “Case 1”
*The long terminal of the connector is referred to as “Case 2”
This is illustrated in the following figure.

Differential:
18.5 GHz/ 37 Gbps
Single-Ended:
17 GHz/ 34 Gbps
Differential:
20 GHz/ 40 Gbps
The Speed Rating is based on the -3 dB insertion loss point of the connector system.
The -3 dB point can be used to estimate usable system bandwidth in a typical, two-level
signaling environment.
To calculate the Speed Rating, the measured -3 dB point is rounded-up to the nearest
half-GHz level. The up rounding corrects for a portion of the test board’s trace loss,
since a short length of trace loss included in the loss data in this report. The resulting
loss value is then doubled to determine the approximate maximum data rate in Gigabits
per second (Gbps).
For example, a connector with a -3 dB point of 7.8 GHz would have a Speed Rating of 8
GHz/ 16 Gbps. A connector with a -3 dB point of 7.2 GHz would have a Speed Rating
of 7.5 GHz/ 15 Gbps.

High Speed Characterization Report
Series: QFS-RA/QMS (-06.75 lead style)
Description: Q2™ High-Speed Rugged Ground Plane Terminal/Socket Strip, 0.635mm Pitch,
Right Angle to Vertical Board-to-Board
Characterization Details
This report presents data that characterizes the signal integrity response of a connector
pair in a controlled printed circuit board (PCB) environment. All efforts are made to reveal typical best-case responses inherent to the system under test (SUT).
In this report, the SUT includes the connector pair and footprint effects on a typical multi-layer PCB. PCB effects (trace loss) are de-embedded from test data. Board related
effects, such as pad-to-ground capacitance, are included in the data presented in this
report.
Additionally, intermediate test signal connections can mask the connector’s true performance. Such connection effects are minimized by using high performance test cables
and adapters. Where appropriate, calibration and de-embedding routines are also used
to reduce residual effects.
Differential and Single-Ended Data
Most Samtec connectors can be used successfully in both differential and single-ended
applications. However, electrical performance will differ depending on the signal drive
type. In this report, data is presented for both differentially and single-ended driven scenarios.
Connector Signal to Ground Ratio
Samtec connectors are most often designed for generic applications and can be implemented using various signal and ground pin assignments. In high-speed systems, provisions must be made in the interconnect for signal return currents. Such paths are often referred to as “ground”. In some connectors, a ground plane or blade, or an outer
shield, is used as the signal return, while in others, connector pins are used as signal
returns. Various combinations of signal pins, ground blades, and shields can also be
utilized. Electrical performance can vary significantly depending upon the number and
location of ground pins.
In general, the more pins dedicated to ground, the better electrical performance will be.
However, dedicating pins to ground reduces signal density of a connector. Therefore,
care must be taken when choosing signal/ground ratios in cost or density-sensitive applications.

Description: Q2™ High-Speed Rugged Ground Plane Terminal/Socket Strip, 0.635mm Pitch,
Right Angle to Vertical Board-to-Board
For this connector, the following configurations were evaluated:
Single-Ended Impedance:
• GSG (Ground-Signal-Ground)
Single-Ended Crosstalk:
• Electrical “worst case”: GAQG (Ground-Active-Quiet-Ground)
• Electrical “best case”: GAGQG (Ground-Active-Ground-Quiet-Ground)
• Across row: “xrow case”: GAG to GQG (from one row of terminals to the other
row)
Differential Impedance:
• GSSG (Ground-positive Signal-negative Signal-Ground)
Differential Crosstalk:
• Electrical “worst case”: GAAQQG (Ground-Active-Active-Quiet-Quiet-Ground)
• Electrical “best case”: GAAGQQG (Ground-Active-Active-Ground-Quiet-QuietGround)
• Across row: “xrow case”: GAAG to GQQG (from one row of terminals to the
other row)
In all cases in this report, the center blade of the connector was grounded to the PCB.
Only one single-ended signal or differential pair was driven for crosstalk measurements.
Other configurations can be evaluated upon request. Please contact [email protected]
for more information.
In a real system environment, active signals might be located at the outer edges of the
signal contacts of concern, as opposed to the ground signals utilized in laboratory testing. For example, in a single-ended system, a pin-out of “SSSS”, or four adjacent single
ended signals might be encountered as opposed to the “GSG” and “GSSG” configurations tested in the laboratory. Electrical characteristics in such applications could vary
slightly from laboratory results. However, in most applications, performance can safely
be considered equivalent.
Signal Edge Speed (Rise Time):
In pulse signaling applications, the perceived performance of the interconnect can vary
significantly depending on the edge rate or rise time of the exciting signal. For this report, the fastest rise time used was 30 ps. Generally, this should demonstrate worstcase performance.

Description: Q2™ High-Speed Rugged Ground Plane Terminal/Socket Strip, 0.635mm Pitch,
Right Angle to Vertical Board-to-Board
In many systems, the signal edge rate will be significantly slower at the connector than
at the driver launch point. To estimate interconnect performance at other edge rates,
data is provided for several rise times between 30ps and 500ps.
For this report, measured rise times were at 10%-90% signal levels.
Frequency Domain Data
Frequency Domain parameters are helpful in evaluating the connector system’s signal
loss and crosstalk characteristics across a range of sinusoidal frequencies. In this report, parameters presented in the Frequency Domain are Insertion Loss, Return Loss,
and Near-End and Far-End Crosstalk. Other parameters or formats, such as VSWR or
S-Parameters, may be available upon request. Please contact our Signal Integrity
Group at [email protected] for more information.
Frequency performance characteristics for the SUT are generated directly from network
analyzer measurements.
Time Domain Data
Time Domain parameters indicate Impedance mismatch versus length, signal propagation time, and crosstalk in a pulsed signal environment. The measured S-Parameters
from the network analyzer are post-processed using Agilent Advanced Design System
to obtain the time domain response. Time Domain procedure is provided in Appendix E
of this report. Parameters or formats not included in this report may be available upon
request. Please contact our Signal Integrity Group at [email protected] for more information.
In this report, propagation delay is defined as the signal propagation time through the
connector and connector footprint. It includes 10 mils of PCB trace on the QFS and
QMS connector side each. Delay is measured at 100 picoseconds signal rise time. Delay is calculated as the difference in time measured between the 50% amplitude levels
of the input and output pulses.
Crosstalk or coupled noise data is provided for various signal configurations. All measurements are single disturber. Crosstalk is calculated as a ratio of the input line voltage
to the coupled line voltage. The input line is sometimes described as the active or drive
line. The coupled line is sometimes described as the quiet or victim line. Crosstalk ratio
is tabulated in this report as a percentage. Measurements are made at both the nearend and far-end of the SUT.
Data for other configurations may be available. Please contact our Signal Integrity
Group at [email protected] for further information.

As a rule of thumb, 10% crosstalk levels are often used as a general first pass limit for
determining acceptable interconnect performance. However, modern system crosstalk
tolerance can vary greatly. For advice on connector suitability for specific applications,
please contact our Signal Integrity Group at [email protected].

Appendix C – Product and Test System Descriptions
Product Description
Product test samples are the Micro Hi-Speed Q-Strip interface QFS-RA/QMS series
connectors. The part numbers are QFS-052-01-SL-D-RA and QMS-052-06.75-L-D-A.
Both the right angle style connector and the double vertical connector are PCB surface
mount products. The right angle surface mount design forces the top row terminals to
have a longer electrical length than those of the bottom row; hence, the electrical characteristics between the short row and long row will differentiate. When mated the connectors are affixed at a right angle. Each connector structure consists of two rows of 52
contact terminals. Terminal centerlines are evenly spaced at a 0.635mm (0.025") pitch.
A photo of the test articles mounted to SI test boards is shown below.
Test System Description
The test fixtures are composed of four-layer FR-4 material with 50Ω signal trace and
pad configurations designed for the electrical characterization of Samtec high speed
connector products. A PCB mount SMA connector is used to interface the VNA test cables to the test fixtures. Optimization of the SMA launch was performed using full wave
simulation tools to minimize reflections. Six test fixtures are specific to the QFS-RA/
QMS series connector set and identified by part numbers PCB-103658-TST-01C and D
through PCB-103658-TST-03C and D. Calibration standards specific to the QFS-RA/
QMS series is located on the calibration boards PCB-103658-TST-04. To keep trace
lengths short, three different test board sets were required to access the necessary signal pins.
PCB-103658-TST-XX Test Fixtures
Shown below is a photograph of the one of the three test board sets.

Calibration Board
Test fixture losses and test point reflections were removed from the data by use of TRL
calibration. The calibration board is shown below. Prior to making any measurements,
the calibration board is characterized to obtain parameters required to define the calibration kit. Once a calibration kit is defined, calibration using the standards on the calibration board can be performed. Finally, the device can be measured and the test board
effects are automatically removed.
Thru line – 2980 mils
Open Reflect – 1490 mils
Line 1 – 6370 mils
Line 2 – 3660 mils
Line 3 – 3120 mils
Match – 1490 mils

All traces on the test boards are length matched to 1.5" measured from the edge of the
pad to the SMA. The TRL calibration effectively removes 1.49" of test board trace effects. This means that 10 mils of test board trace length effects are included in the both
sides of test boards in the measurement. The S-Parameter measurement includes:
ABCDE-
The QFS-RA/QMS Series connector set
Test board vias, pads (footprint effects) for the QFS-RA connector side.
10 mils of 9.5 mil wide microstrip trace.
Test board vias, pads (footprint effects) for the QMS connector side.
10 mils of 9.5 mil wide microstrip trace.

Frequency (S-Parameter) Domain Procedures
The quality of any data taken with a network analyzer is directly related to the quality of
the calibration standards and the use of proper test procedures. For this reason, extreme care is taken in the design of the LRM calibration standards, the SI test boards,
and the selection of the PCB vendor.
The measurement process begins with a measurement of the LRM calibration standards. A coaxial SOLT calibration is performed using an N4433A ecal module. This
measurement is required in order to obtain precise values of the line standard offset delay and frequency bandwidths. Measurements of the reflect and 2x through line standard can be used to determine the maximum frequency for which the calibration standards are valid. For the QFS-RA/QMS Series test boards, this is greater than 20 GHz.
From the LRM calibration standard measurements, a user defined calibration kit is developed and stored in the network analyzer. Calibration is then performed on all 4 ports
following the calibration wizard within the Agilent N5230C. This calibration is saved and
can be recalled at any time. Calibration takes roughly 30 minutes to perform.
Time Domain Procedures
Mathematically, Frequency Domain data can be transformed to obtain a Time Domain
response. Perfect transformation requires Frequency Domain data from DC to infinity
Hz. Fortunately, a very accurate Time Domain response can be obtained with bandwidth-limited data, such as measured with modern network analyzer.
The Time Domain responses were generated using Agilent ADS 2009 update 1. This
tool has a transient convolution simulator, which can generate a Time Domain response
directly from measured S-Parameters. An example of a similar methodology is provided
in the Samtec Technical Note on domain transformation.

Impedance (TDR)
A step pulse is applied to the touchstone model of the connector and the reflected voltage is monitored. The reflected voltage is converted to a reflection coefficient and then
transformed into an impedance profile. All ports of the Touchstone model are terminated
in 50 ohms.

Propagation Delay (TDT)
The Propagation Delay is a measure of the Time Domain delay through the connector
and footprint. A step pulse is applied to the touchstone model of the connector and the
transmitted voltage is monitored. The same pulse is also applied to a reference channel
with zero loss, and the Time Domain pulses are plotted on the same graph. The difference in time, measured at the 50% point of the step voltage is the propagation delay.
Near-End Crosstalk (TDT) & Far End Crosstalk (TDT)
A step pulse is applied to the touchstone model of the connector and the coupled voltage is monitored. The amplitude of the peak-coupled voltage is recorded and reported
as a percentage of the input pulse.
