What are the key features of TST-108-04-L-D?
- 16 positions in dual-row layout at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, compatible with industry-standard 2.54 mm housings and ribbon cables
- Shrouded housing provides polarization and mechanical keying to prevent mis-mating during cable assembly and field servicing
- Through-hole PCB termination ensures strong mechanical retention for headers subjected to repeated mating and unmating cycles
What is TST-108-04-L-D used for?
The TST-108-04-L-D is designed for use in embedded systems, test and measurement boards, and industrial control panels where a robust 16-position shrouded header is needed for harness or ribbon cable connections. Its 0.100" pitch is compatible with the widely used 2.54 mm connector ecosystem, simplifying cable sourcing and field replacement. The shrouded design is particularly valuable in automated test equipment where reliable and guided connector engagement prevents accidental damage during repeated cycling.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TST-108-04-L-D header have, and what pitch does it use?
The TST-108-04-L-D has 16 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This industry-standard spacing makes it directly compatible with a wide range of 2.54 mm IDC ribbon cable assemblies, discrete housings, and mating sockets available from multiple connector suppliers.
What advantage does the shrouded housing of the TST-108-04-L-D provide over unshrouded headers?
The shrouded housing on the TST-108-04-L-D prevents mis-mating by guiding the mating connector into the correct orientation and polarity. This is critical in production and field environments where accidental reverse-mating a 16-pin interface could damage the PCB or connected peripherals, offering both keying and mechanical pin protection.
In which embedded or industrial board designs is the TST-108-04-L-D a preferred interconnect choice?
The TST-108-04-L-D is preferred in embedded single-board computers, PLC I/O expansion boards, and automated test fixtures that use 16-conductor ribbon cables at 2.54 mm pitch. Its through-hole mounting provides mechanical strength capable of supporting harness pull forces in vibration-prone industrial enclosures, and the 0.100" pitch accommodates standard 16-pin IDC cable assemblies rated for up to 1 A per contact.
