Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact pitch and row configuration of the TST-103-01-S-D?
The TST-103-01-S-D uses a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch in a dual-row (D suffix) shrouded configuration, providing 6 total positions. The body measures 0.6 inch in length and 0.365 inch in both breadth and depth, making it a compact yet robust PCB header for standard 2.54 mm grid layouts.
Which industrial or embedded designs benefit from using the SAMTEC TST-103-01-S-D shrouded header?
Industrial automation controllers, embedded computing modules, and test instrumentation commonly use the TST-103-01-S-D because the shrouded body prevents mis-mating and protects the 6 male pins during repeated connection cycles. Its 0.100" pitch aligns with standard ribbon cable connectors, simplifying integration into existing 2.54 mm grid PCB designs with up to 2 rows of signals.
How does the gold-over-nickel contact finish on the TST-103-01-S-D affect connector reliability?
The mating contacts feature 30 µin gold over 50 µin nickel, which provides low and stable contact resistance over thousands of mating cycles and resists oxidation in humid or mildly corrosive environments. The termination contacts use tin over nickel for excellent solderability during PCB assembly, ensuring strong and reliable solder joints at each of the 6 positions.
When should a designer choose TST-103-01-S-D over an unshrouded header of the same pitch?
A shrouded header like the TST-103-01-S-D is preferred when the application involves frequent manual mating, field service, or high-vibration environments where a 2.54 mm unshrouded header risks bent pins or reverse insertion. The shroud mechanically keys the mating connector, reducing assembly errors across 6 positions and improving long-term reliability in systems with factory lead times of approximately 2 weeks.
