What are the key features of TST-106-01-F-D?
- 12-position dual-row 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch shrouded header providing reliable board-to-board interconnect
- Gold flash over nickel mating contacts for low contact resistance and corrosion resistance
- Shrouded body design (0.9 inch length) prevents mis-mating and protects contacts during assembly
- Tin-over-nickel barrier termination contacts compatible with wave and selective soldering processes
What is TST-106-01-F-D used for?
The TST-106-01-F-D is ideal for through-hole board-to-board and board-to-wire connections in industrial control systems, embedded computing, and telecommunications equipment where a reliable 12-position 0.100" pitch interface is needed. Its shrouded body prevents connector mis-mating during field assembly or maintenance, reducing risk in high-reliability applications. The dual-row male header also suits data acquisition modules, development boards, and backplane interconnect designs requiring a compact 12-pin interface.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and contact configuration does the TST-106-01-F-D use for PCB mounting?
The TST-106-01-F-D uses a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch in a dual-row configuration with 12 positions total, providing 6 contacts per row. The through-hole body measures 0.9 inch in length and 0.485 inch in depth, making it a standard footprint compatible with most 0.1-inch pitch board-to-board and wire-to-board connector ecosystems.
How does the shrouded design of the TST-106-01-F-D protect against mis-mating in dense PCB assemblies?
The shrouded housing physically guides the mating connector into the correct 12-position alignment, preventing a 2-pin offset or reversed insertion that could damage the 0.100" pitch contacts. The 0.365 inch body breadth and integrated polarization wall ensure only correctly oriented mating connectors seat fully, reducing assembly errors in dense PCB layouts with multiple adjacent headers.
Which contact finish combination does the TST-106-01-F-D use and why does it matter for long-term reliability?
Mating contacts feature gold flash over nickel, offering low contact resistance and oxidation resistance through thousands of mating cycles. Termination contacts use tin over a nickel barrier, providing excellent solderability for wave or selective soldering. This dual-finish approach — gold on the mating interface and tin on the PCB solder tails — balances durability with manufacturing compatibility for industrial and telecom applications.
How quickly can the TST-106-01-F-D be sourced and what lead time should engineers plan for?
The TST-106-01-F-D has a factory lead time of approximately 2 weeks and 6 days under standard conditions. Engineers designing for production runs should account for this lead time when scheduling PCB assembly. The connector's 9.1-year projected YTEOL provides long-term availability assurance for designs requiring multi-year production continuity.
