Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and pin count does the TST-106-04-L-D provide for PCB header designs?
The TST-106-04-L-D is a 12-position dual-row shrouded header with a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, providing 6 pins per row across 2 rows. This standard 2.54 mm spacing allows mating with a wide range of off-the-shelf ribbon cable connectors and socket headers commonly stocked by distributors worldwide.
In what types of test and measurement setups does the TST-106-04-L-D connector perform best?
The TST-106-04-L-D is well-suited for PCB-to-PCB signal routing in test fixtures and ICT bed-of-nails setups where a keyed 12-pin shrouded header prevents mis-orientation during quick connect/disconnect cycles. Its gold-plated contacts maintain low contact resistance over hundreds of mating cycles, making it reliable for production test boards with 2.54 mm pitch ribbon interfaces.
How does the shrouded housing of the TST-106-04-L-D benefit production line assembly compared to an unshrouded header?
The shrouded housing of the TST-106-04-L-D provides a polarizing key that prevents reverse insertion of mating connectors, reducing assembly errors on production lines handling 12-pin ribbon cables at 2.54 mm pitch. This mechanical keying lowers rework rates and protects the 12 gold-plated pins from damage during repeated mating, extending connector service life in high-cycle industrial applications.
