Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pin pitch and row configuration of the TST-103-05-H-D connector?
The TST-103-05-H-D is a dual-row shrouded PCB header with 6 positions total and a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch between pins. This standard pitch allows compatibility with a wide range of mating receptacles and ribbon cable connectors commonly used in industrial and embedded control applications.
How tall is the TST-103-05-H-D post and why does post height matter for board stacking?
The TST-103-05-H-D features a 0.500" (12.70 mm) post height, which determines the standoff distance when stacking PCBs. This height accommodates components mounted on adjacent boards and is commonly used in embedded systems where two boards must be mechanically and electrically connected with a defined gap of approximately 12.70 mm.
Why choose the shrouded TST-103-05-H-D over an unshrouded header in a field-serviceable instrument?
The shrouded design of the TST-103-05-H-D physically guides the mating connector into the correct orientation, eliminating offset-by-one-row insertion errors. In field-serviceable instruments with 6-pin connectors, this polarization prevents reverse-insertion damage that could occur with an unshrouded 2.54 mm header during on-site maintenance under poor lighting conditions.
What current and voltage ratings apply to the TST-103-05-H-D for power and signal routing?
SAMTEC TST-series headers are rated for signal and low-power applications typical of 0.100" pitch connectors, generally supporting up to 1 A per pin at low voltages up to 125 V AC/DC. These ratings make the 6-pin TST-103-05-H-D appropriate for mixed signal-and-power connectors in embedded control boards where digital signals and small supply rails share the same header.
