Frequently Asked Questions

What pitch and pin count does the TST-106-05-H-D shrouded PCB header provide?

The TST-106-05-H-D is a 12-position, dual-row shrouded PCB header with a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch. This standard pitch ensures compatibility with a wide range of ribbon cables and IDC connectors, making it straightforward to integrate into embedded systems, industrial controllers, and development board designs requiring reliable polarized connections.

How does the shrouded design of the TST-106-05-H-D protect against connector mismatch during assembly?

The shrouded housing of the TST-106-05-H-D physically constrains the mating connector, providing a keyed polarized interface that prevents incorrect 180-degree reversal or offset insertion. This protects the 12-position dual-row 2.54 mm pitch connector and downstream circuitry from reverse-polarity damage, which is especially valuable in production environments and field-serviceable equipment.

In which embedded system applications is the TST-106-05-H-D dual-row shrouded header most useful?

The TST-106-05-H-D is particularly useful in embedded computing boards, PLC I/O expansion panels, and test and measurement equipment where a reliable 12-position 2.54 mm pitch ribbon cable interface is needed. Its through-hole mounting provides strong PCB retention forces of several Newtons, making it dependable in vibrating industrial machinery and rugged field equipment assemblies.
