Frequently Asked Questions
What termination style and pitch does the TST-108-02-T-D use, and how does that affect PCB footprint design?
TST-108-02-T-D uses a straight through-hole (PTH) termination with 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This requires 16 drilled holes in a dual-row pattern on the PCB, compatible with standard 2.54 mm grid footprints, and supports robust wave-soldering processes for high-volume production.
How does the shrouded box header design of TST-108-02-T-D prevent mis-mating during cable assembly?
The shrouded housing provides a polarized keying feature that guides the mating connector into the correct orientation, preventing 180-degree mis-insertion. The 1.1 inch body length accommodates all 16 positions with mechanical protection around the male pins, reducing field assembly errors.
In what industrial or embedded applications is the TST-108-02-T-D typically specified for signal routing?
This 16-pin dual-row box header is widely used in industrial PLCs, embedded single-board computers, and test fixtures requiring up to 16 signal channels between boards or ribbon cable assemblies. Its phosphor bronze contacts with tin-nickel finish maintain low contact resistance over thousands of mating cycles, making it reliable in automated test equipment.
