Frequently Asked Questions

What is the pin arrangement and pitch of the TST-106-02-L-D connector?

The TST-106-02-L-D is a dual-row connector with 12 positions total arranged on a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. It uses a rectangular contact pattern with square pin contacts, making it compatible with standard 0.100" dual-row sockets and crimp housings in board connector assemblies.

Which industrial or embedded applications benefit most from the TST-106-02-L-D shrouded header?

Applications requiring reliable board-to-board connections in environments with vibration or shock benefit most from this shrouded header. Industrial PLCs, embedded compute modules, and test instrumentation commonly use this 12-position, 0.100" pitch connector to achieve secure daughtercard attachment with up to 37 documented specification parameters ensuring compatibility.

How does the gold mating contact finish on TST-106-02-L-D compare to standard tin-plated alternatives?

The TST-106-02-L-D features 10 µin gold plating over nickel on mating contacts, providing significantly lower contact resistance and higher durability compared to tin-only finishes. This gold finish supports hundreds of insertion cycles, making the connector suitable for test sockets, prototyping boards, and any application requiring repeated mating cycles without signal degradation.
