What are the key features of TST-102-05-T-D?

  • 4-position dual-row shrouded header with 2.54 mm (0.100") pitch, providing polarized keying to prevent mis-mating in through-hole PCB applications
  • Through-hole mounting with tin-plated or gold-plated contacts rated at up to 3A per pin for robust signal and power connections
  • Low-profile shrouded housing compatible with standard IDC ribbon cable assemblies and 0.1 inch pitch mating sockets

What is TST-102-05-T-D used for?

The TST-102-05-T-D is commonly used in embedded systems, Arduino-compatible boards, and industrial controllers requiring a reliable 4-pin shrouded header for ribbon cable or discrete wire harness connections. Its polarized 2.54 mm pitch design simplifies field wiring in consumer electronics and prototyping environments where correct connector orientation is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the pitch and position count of the TST-102-05-T-D, and which mating connectors are compatible?

The TST-102-05-T-D is a 4-position dual-row header with 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. It mates with standard 0.1 inch pitch IDC socket housings and discrete wire connectors, providing a secure 4-pin interface for embedded and industrial applications.

How does the shroud on TST-102-05-T-D improve assembly reliability?

The polarized shroud on the TST-102-05-T-D physically prevents a mating connector from being inserted upside-down or offset by 1 row, eliminating mis-mating errors in production. This is particularly valuable in high-volume automated cable assembly where a 2.54 mm pitch 4-pin connector must be inserted correctly every time.

What current rating does each contact in the TST-102-05-T-D support?

Each contact in the TST-102-05-T-D is rated at up to 3A, allowing the 4-position header to carry both signal lines and low-power supply rails on a single connector. This makes it suitable for sensor modules and small actuator interfaces that draw under 3A per pin.

In what scenarios would TST-102-05-T-D be chosen over a non-shrouded header?

TST-102-05-T-D is preferred in field-serviceable equipment and prototyping boards where inexperienced users might accidentally reverse a connector. The shroud adds less than 3 mm to overall connector height while eliminating the possibility of reverse insertion that could damage a 3.3 V or 5 V powered circuit.
