What are the key features of TST-115-03-T-D?
- 30-position dual-row male header at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch with protective shroud for polarized, keyed mating
- Phosphor bronze contacts with matte tin over nickel finish providing robust low-resistance termination across industrial temperature ranges
- Shrouded housing prevents incorrect connector insertion orientation in board-to-cable and board-to-board assembly
- Through-hole termination with 1.8-inch body length for high-contact-count, mechanically secure PCB mounting
What is TST-115-03-T-D used for?
The TST-115-03-T-D is used for board-to-cable and board-to-board interconnects in industrial control systems, automation equipment, and embedded computing platforms requiring a reliable 30-position, 0.100" pitch shrouded header. Its polarizing shroud and phosphor bronze contacts make it a preferred choice for ribbon cable connectors, internal system wiring harnesses, and I/O expansion modules where keyed mating prevents field installation errors. The connector is also commonly specified in test fixture designs and development boards where high pin-count, durable through-hole headers simplify prototype wiring.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and what pitch does the TST-115-03-T-D shrouded header provide?
The TST-115-03-T-D is a 30-position (15 pins per row, dual-row) shrouded male PCB header with a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. The 2.54 mm standard pitch ensures compatibility with a wide range of mating receptacles, ribbon cable connectors, and IDC sockets commonly used in industrial and embedded system wiring.
Why does the shroud on the TST-115-03-T-D matter for system assembly and field maintenance?
The polarizing shroud on the TST-115-03-T-D physically prevents mating connectors from being inserted upside down or offset by 1 row, eliminating reverse-polarity connection errors that could damage circuits. For industrial control panels and embedded systems serviced in the field, this keying feature reduces the risk of technician wiring errors on 30-pin high-density headers during maintenance or replacement.
What contact material and finish does the TST-115-03-T-D use, and how does this affect long-term connector reliability?
The TST-115-03-T-D uses phosphor bronze contacts with a matte tin over nickel finish on mating surfaces. Phosphor bronze provides excellent spring retention for consistent contact force over thousands of mating cycles, while the nickel barrier prevents tin migration to the base material. This combination suits applications requiring reliable low-resistance connections across the industrial temperature range in environments with vibration or repeated cable disconnection.
When is the TST-115-03-T-D preferred over a 0.050" pitch SMT connector for a 30-position interface?
The TST-115-03-T-D at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch is preferred over 0.050" SMT alternatives when the application involves frequent mating cycles, field-replaceable cable harnesses, or situations where manual handling without precision tooling is required. The 2.54 mm pitch allows hand-termination with IDC ribbon cable tools, and through-hole mounting provides superior pull-out force compared to SMT connectors in harsh mechanical or vibration environments.
