What are the key features of TST-106-05-L-D?

  • 12-position dual-row shrouded header at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch ensures polarized, mis-mate-proof connectivity on PCBs
  • Shrouded housing protects contacts from debris and accidental connection to adjacent connectors during assembly
  • SAMTEC TST series compatibility enables reliable mating with a broad family of standard 2.54 mm pitch receptacles

What is TST-106-05-L-D used for?

TST-106-05-L-D is used in embedded systems, development boards, and industrial control panels where a 12-pin dual-row connector with 2.54 mm pitch is needed for reliable board-to-wire or board-to-board signal routing. The shrouded design is particularly valued in production environments where connectors must be inserted quickly without risk of misalignment. Its standard 0.100 inch pitch simplifies compatibility with common ribbon cables and mating receptacles used in test fixtures and modular enclosure designs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the pitch and position count of the TST-106-05-L-D connector?

TST-106-05-L-D is a 12-position dual-row shrouded header with a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch, providing 6 positions per row. This standard pitch ensures compatibility with a wide range of ribbon cables, IDC connectors, and mating receptacles commonly used in PCB designs.

How does the shrouded housing of TST-106-05-L-D protect against mis-mating during board assembly?

The shrouded housing of TST-106-05-L-D physically encloses all 12 pins within a keyed plastic surround, preventing incorrect insertion of the mating connector at 2.54 mm pitch. This reduces assembly errors in production environments where connectors are inserted under time pressure or poor lighting conditions.

In which applications is the TST-106-05-L-D dual-row header commonly used?

TST-106-05-L-D is commonly used in embedded development boards, industrial control modules, and test fixtures where a 12-pin interface at 0.100 inch pitch connects ribbon cables carrying up to 12 signal or power lines between PCB assemblies in a compact dual-row footprint.

What mating connectors are compatible with the TST-106-05-L-D, and what current rating should be expected?

TST-106-05-L-D mates with SAMTEC's standard 2.54 mm pitch dual-row receptacles and is compatible with common 12-pin IDC ribbon cable connectors rated at approximately 1 A per pin, making it suitable for digital signal and low-current power distribution applications on PCBs.
