Frequently Asked Questions

What is the pitch and contact count of the TST-106-04-G-D connector?

The TST-106-04-G-D features a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch with 12 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration, giving 6 pins per row. This standard pitch accommodates common IDC ribbon cables and mating sockets in embedded and industrial applications.

Which applications benefit most from using the SAMTEC TST-106-04-G-D shrouded header?

Industrial control panels, embedded computing modules, and test equipment all benefit from the TST-106-04-G-D. Its shrouded housing and 12-position dual-row layout support organized 2.54 mm pitch ribbon cable connections, enabling up to 12 signal lines with polarized mating to prevent reverse insertion errors.

How does the gold plating on TST-106-04-G-D contacts affect performance compared to standard tin-plated connectors?

Gold-plated contacts on the TST-106-04-G-D provide lower and more stable contact resistance—typically under 20 mΩ—compared to tin-plated alternatives. This is especially advantageous for low-voltage logic signals at 3.3 V or 5 V, where even small resistance variations can affect signal integrity in high-cycle mating applications.

Can TST-106-04-G-D be used as a lower-pin-count alternative to 20-pin or 26-pin shrouded headers in signal routing designs?

Yes, when a design requires only 12 signal lines, the TST-106-04-G-D with its 12-position dual-row 0.100" pitch layout is a cost-effective replacement for larger 20-pin or 26-pin headers. Eliminating unused pins reduces connector footprint by approximately 40% on the PCB compared to a 20-pin variant.
