What are the key features of TST-102-04-H-D?
- 4-position dual-row shrouded header on 2.54 mm (0.100") pitch with polarizing key to prevent mis-mating
- Through-hole mounting for robust mechanical attachment and superior pull-out strength on the PCB
- Shrouded design protecting connector pins from accidental damage and providing positive mating alignment
- Compatible with standard 0.100-inch pitch crimp housings and ribbon cable connectors for versatile wiring options
- Dual-row (D suffix) configuration providing 4 positions in a compact 2x2 arrangement
What is TST-102-04-H-D used for?
The TST-102-04-H-D is commonly used in embedded system development boards, industrial control panels, and robotics platforms where small 4-pin headers connect power and signal lines to peripheral modules. Its shrouded design makes it suitable for field-serviceable equipment where cables are frequently disconnected and reconnected, such as sensor pods and actuator interfaces. The standard 0.100-inch pitch ensures broad compatibility with off-the-shelf ribbon cables and crimp connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and rows does the TST-102-04-H-D shrouded header provide, and what is its pitch?
The TST-102-04-H-D is a dual-row (D suffix) shrouded header with 4 total positions arranged as 2x2 on a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. This compact 4-pin layout is widely used for low-pin-count power and signal interfaces in embedded systems and industrial control boards.
What protection does the shrouded design of the TST-102-04-H-D provide during cable mating?
The TST-102-04-H-D features a plastic shroud that fully encloses the 4 connector pins, preventing accidental pin bending and providing a polarizing key that ensures the mating connector is inserted in the correct orientation. This reduces the risk of mis-wiring damage in field environments where connectors are disconnected and reconnected frequently.
Which cable assemblies and mating connectors are compatible with the TST-102-04-H-D 0.100-inch pitch header?
The TST-102-04-H-D mates with standard 0.100-inch pitch IDC ribbon cable assemblies and crimp-to-wire housings, including common 4-position dual-row IDC connectors. This compatibility with widely available crimp and ribbon cable solutions makes prototyping and field cabling straightforward without requiring custom tooling.
When is the TST-102-04-H-D a preferred choice over a non-shrouded header in a service-intensive application?
In applications requiring regular cable disconnection — such as modular sensor pods in industrial equipment or removable battery packs in robotic platforms — the shrouded design of the TST-102-04-H-D prevents the 4 pins from being bent or shorted during blind mating. The shroud also retains mating connectors more securely than open headers, improving reliability over thousands of mating cycles on a 2.54 mm pitch interface.
