What are the key features of TST-108-03-T-D?

  • 16-position dual-row shrouded header with 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch for reliable polarized mating
  • Phosphor bronze contacts with matte tin over nickel finish for corrosion resistance and long insertion life
  • Rectangular contact pattern in a compact 1.1" body length suitable for dense PCB layouts

What is TST-108-03-T-D used for?

The TST-108-03-T-D is used in industrial control boards, embedded computing systems, and test fixtures where a polarized 16-pin board connector is required for reliable cable harness connections. Its shrouded design prevents mis-mating in field-installed or frequently disconnected assemblies. The standard 0.100" pitch makes it compatible with a wide range of mating socket connectors from multiple manufacturers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many positions and what pitch does the SAMTEC TST-108-03-T-D header provide?

The TST-108-03-T-D is a 16-position dual-row shrouded PCB header with a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, arranged in a rectangular contact pattern spanning a 1.1-inch body length for compact board connector layouts.

What contact material and finish does the TST-108-03-T-D use for mating reliability?

The TST-108-03-T-D uses phosphor bronze contacts with matte tin over nickel (Ni) barrier finish on the mating surface, providing corrosion resistance and consistent low-resistance contact across multiple insertion cycles in industrial and embedded applications.

When is the TST-108-03-T-D shrouded header preferable over an unshrouded alternative?

The shrouded design of the TST-108-03-T-D is preferred in field-serviceable equipment, test fixtures, and cable-harness assemblies where mis-mating a 16-pin 0.100" connector could damage circuitry, since the polarizing shroud physically prevents incorrect insertion.
