What are the key features of TST-105-03-H-D?

  • 10-position dual-row shrouded PCB header with 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch for standard connector spacing
  • Gold (Au) over Nickel (Ni) barrier contact finish providing low contact resistance and corrosion resistance
  • Polarized shrouded housing prevents reverse mating and protects contacts during handling
  • Square pin style (SQ PIN-SKT) for robust mechanical retention in through-hole PCB applications
  • Compact body dimensions (0.8" x 0.485" x 0.365") for space-efficient board layouts

What is TST-105-03-H-D used for?

The TST-105-03-H-D shrouded PCB header is widely used in industrial control panels, embedded computing modules, and test and measurement equipment where reliable 10-pin dual-row connections are needed. Its gold-over-nickel contact finish makes it well-suited for low-level signal interfaces in data acquisition and sensor conditioning boards. The shrouded design is particularly valued in aerospace and defense applications where vibration resistance and mating protection are critical requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What contact finish does the TST-105-03-H-D use and why does it matter for signal integrity?

The TST-105-03-H-D uses gold (Au) plating over a nickel (Ni) barrier, delivering contact resistance typically below 20 milliohms. This gold finish ensures reliable signal integrity for low-voltage interfaces at 3.3 V or 5 V logic levels, and resists oxidation over thousands of mating cycles in humid or industrial environments.

How does the shrouded housing of TST-105-03-H-D protect PCB assemblies during cable mating?

The polarized shrouded housing of TST-105-03-H-D physically prevents reverse insertion, eliminating the risk of 180-degree mis-mating that can damage components powered at 5 V or higher. The shroud also shields the 10 male contacts from mechanical damage during repeated mating cycles, extending connector service life in field-replaceable modules.

What is the body size of TST-105-03-H-D and how does it fit into compact PCB layouts?

The TST-105-03-H-D body measures 0.8 inches long by 0.485 inches deep by 0.365 inches wide, occupying a compact footprint suitable for boards with constrained real estate. Its 0.100-inch pitch dual-row layout accommodates 10 positions within less than 0.5 inches of board depth, making it compatible with dense embedded system designs.

Which cable assembly families are compatible with TST-105-03-H-D for complete interconnect solutions?

TST-105-03-H-D mates with Samtec's IDSS and FFSD series discrete wire and ribbon cable assemblies designed for 0.100-inch pitch dual-row headers. These pre-terminated cable assemblies are available in lengths from 150 mm to 600 mm, allowing system integrators to select optimal cable routing without custom crimping tools or tooling investment.
