Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact pitch and row configuration of the TST-106-05-T-D connector?
The TST-106-05-T-D uses a standard 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch in a dual-row, 12-position arrangement, providing 6 pins per row. This configuration supports up to 12 signal or power connections in a compact footprint, making it ideal for PCB designs with limited space but high pin-count interconnect requirements.
How does the shrouded housing of TST-106-05-T-D prevent assembly errors in production environments?
The polarized shroud on the TST-106-05-T-D physically prevents connectors from being inserted backwards or misaligned, reducing rework and field failures. This is critical in high-volume production with 12-pin assemblies where a single reversed connection could damage a board. The shroud also protects the 12 contacts from mechanical damage during handling and shipping.
Which PCB assembly and embedded system designs are best suited for the TST-106-05-T-D header?
TST-106-05-T-D is well suited for development boards, industrial I/O expansion modules, embedded computing systems, and backplane interfaces operating at up to 3 A per contact in typical signal and low-power applications. The through-hole mounting style provides strong mechanical retention, making it reliable in vibration-prone industrial environments rated from -55°C to 125°C.
When would TST-106-05-T-D be selected over a surface-mount connector alternative of similar pitch?
TST-106-05-T-D through-hole mounting is preferred when mechanical pull-out strength exceeds what surface-mount pads can provide, especially for connectors experiencing repeated mating cycles or mechanical stress. Through-hole contacts solder into plated vias, delivering retention forces several times higher than SMD counterparts. For prototyping and low-to-mid volume production runs, through-hole headers with 2.54 mm pitch also offer hand-soldering accessibility.
