What are the key features of TST-106-02-T-D?
- 12 positions dual-row at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch for standard IDC and discrete cable compatibility
- Shrouded housing with keying prevents reverse or offset mating across all 12 contacts
- Tin-over-nickel (200 µ-in Sn) contact finish for reliable low-resistance mating in industrial environments
- Rectangular male contact pattern with through-hole mounting for strong mechanical PCB retention
What is TST-106-02-T-D used for?
The TST-106-02-T-D is used in industrial control panels, embedded system development boards, and test fixture wiring where a 12-circuit board-to-wire connector at standard 2.54 mm pitch is needed. Its shrouded dual-row design ensures correct orientation during high-frequency mating cycles, making it well-suited for production test jigs and field-serviceable equipment. The tin-over-nickel contact finish maintains low contact resistance in environments with vibration and moderate humidity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pin count, pitch, and row configuration of the SAMTEC TST-106-02-T-D?
The TST-106-02-T-D is a 12-position dual-row header with 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, arranged as 2 rows of 6 pins. This standard pitch is compatible with off-the-shelf IDC ribbon cable assemblies and discrete crimp-contact housings commonly used in industrial and embedded wiring harnesses.
What contact finish does the TST-106-02-T-D use, and why does it matter for long-term reliability?
The connector uses a tin (Sn) over nickel (Ni) barrier contact finish rated at 200 µ-in. The nickel barrier prevents tin migration into the base copper, while tin provides low contact resistance and sufficient corrosion protection for typical 12-circuit industrial cable connector applications.
How does the shrouded housing of the TST-106-02-T-D prevent wiring errors during field service?
The plastic shroud physically blocks reversed or offset cable connector insertion across 12 pins, ensuring correct polarity and preventing pin damage. This is especially useful in field-serviceable equipment where untrained technicians replace cable harnesses, reducing the risk of mis-wiring 12-circuit control signals.
In which industrial or test applications is the TST-106-02-T-D commonly found?
This connector is used in PLC I/O modules, embedded controller boards, laboratory test fixtures, and factory automation wiring where 12 signals at 2.54 mm pitch board-to-wire interconnects are required. Through-hole mounting gives the 0.9-inch body length adequate mechanical pull-out strength for high-vibration industrial environments.
