What are the key features of TST-106-04-S-D?
- 12-position dual-row shrouded header at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch ensures polarized, keyed mating to prevent mis-insertion
- Shrouded body protects contact pins during repeated cable-to-board mating cycles, increasing mechanical durability
- Standard 0.100" pitch is compatible with a wide ecosystem of mating cable assemblies and socket connectors
What is TST-106-04-S-D used for?
The TST-106-04-S-D is used in industrial control panels, embedded system motherboards, and prototyping boards where a keyed 12-position cable-to-board interface at 0.100" pitch is required. The shrouded design ensures correct polarized mating, which reduces assembly errors in production environments. It is also widely deployed in robotics and automation equipment where reliable, repeatable board-to-cable connections are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pitch and position count of the TST-106-04-S-D, and how are the contacts arranged?
The TST-106-04-S-D provides 12 positions total arranged in a dual-row layout on a standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. The dual-row configuration with 6 contacts per row accommodates multiple signal lines in a compact footprint, while the 0.100" pitch ensures broad compatibility with standard mating cable assemblies.
How does the shrouded design of the TST-106-04-S-D prevent assembly errors?
The shrouded header body surrounds all 12 contact pins, providing a keyed polarized mating interface that prevents reversed or offset connector insertion. This polarization feature is critical on production lines where cable assemblies are connected by hand, reducing mis-mating defects and protecting the 0.100" pitch pins from mechanical damage.
For which applications is the TST-106-04-S-D a preferred choice over an unshrouded header?
The TST-106-04-S-D is preferred in any application requiring reliable repeated mating at 12 positions and 0.100" pitch where mis-insertion risk is unacceptable, such as industrial control systems, embedded computing boards, and robotics. Its shrouded body and keyed polarization make it more robust than unshrouded alternatives in high-vibration or operator-intensive environments.
