What are the key features of TST-108-02-F-D?

  • 16-position dual-row 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch male header with protective polarizing shroud prevents mismating in dense cable harness systems
  • Phosphor bronze contacts with gold flash over nickel mating finish provide low contact resistance and corrosion resistance for reliable signal integrity
  • Tin over nickel termination finish on leads ensures compatibility with standard PCB soldering processes including wave and reflow soldering

What is TST-108-02-F-D used for?

The TST-108-02-F-D is used in embedded systems, industrial controllers, and communications boards where a compact 16-pin shrouded right-angle or vertical header connects ribbon cables or wire harnesses. The gold flash mating finish on phosphor bronze contacts maintains reliable electrical connections across repeated mate and unmate cycles. Its standard 0.100" pitch makes it broadly compatible with 2.54 mm pitch female cable connectors and IDC termination tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

What contact material and plating does the TST-108-02-F-D use for its mating interface?

The TST-108-02-F-D uses phosphor bronze contacts plated with gold flash over nickel on the mating portion. Gold flash provides a low-resistance, corrosion-resistant surface that maintains contact integrity across up to 50 mating cycles, while the nickel barrier prevents diffusion of the gold layer into the base metal.

For which PCB assembly processes is the TST-108-02-F-D termination finish suited?

The lead termination finish is tin over nickel, making TST-108-02-F-D compatible with both wave soldering and selective soldering processes used in standard through-hole PCB assembly. The nickel barrier layer between the tin and the phosphor bronze base prevents tin whisker growth and ensures long-term solder joint reliability at operating temperatures up to 125°C.

When is the 16-pin TST-108-02-F-D preferable to an unshrouded header in a multi-connector wiring harness?

The TST-108-02-F-D's full shroud is preferred in multi-connector harnesses where 16 signal lines must be connected in a defined orientation under factory or field conditions without visual guidance. The shroud enforces correct polarity and shields the 0.100" pitch pins from lateral forces during connector insertion, reducing pin-bending defects and associated rework costs in high-volume assembly.
