What are the key features of TST-103-03-G-D?

  • 6-position dual-row shrouded header with 0.100 inch pitch for secure polarized mating
  • Gold (10 microinch) over nickel (50 microinch) contact finish ensures low contact resistance and long-term reliability
  • Phosphor bronze contacts provide excellent spring force retention and durability in repeated mate/unmate cycles

What is TST-103-03-G-D used for?

The TST-103-03-G-D is commonly used in prototyping boards, test fixtures, and embedded systems requiring a reliable 6-pin dual-row interconnect at the industry-standard 0.100 inch pitch. Its shrouded housing prevents mis-mating, making it suitable for industrial control panels, data acquisition modules, and instrumentation equipment. The gold-plated contacts support low-voltage signal applications where consistent contact resistance is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the contact pitch and how many positions does TST-103-03-G-D have?

The TST-103-03-G-D features a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch with 6 total positions arranged in a dual-row configuration, giving 3 positions per row. This standard pitch is compatible with a wide range of mating receptacles used in test fixtures and prototype boards.

What contact finish is used in TST-103-03-G-D and why does it matter for signal integrity?

The TST-103-03-G-D uses gold (10 microinch) plating over nickel (50 microinch) on the mating surface, which minimizes contact resistance to ensure stable low-voltage signal transmission. This finish also resists oxidation, maintaining reliable connections across hundreds of mate/unmate cycles in lab and field environments.

Is TST-103-03-G-D suitable for high-cycle test fixture applications, and what is its body size?

Yes, the TST-103-03-G-D is designed for test and prototyping applications. Its phosphor bronze contacts withstand repeated mating cycles, and the body measures 0.6 inch in length and 0.365 inch in depth, enabling a compact footprint on test fixture PCBs with limited space.
