What are the key features of TST-115-04-F-D?

  • 30-position dual-row shrouded header at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch providing 15 positions per row
  • Female through-hole contact accepts standard 0.100" pin strips and IDC ribbon cable connectors
  • Polarized shroud eliminates mis-mating risk in multi-board systems with frequent connector cycling

What is TST-115-04-F-D used for?

The TST-115-04-F-D is used for 30-pin signal distribution in embedded systems, industrial control boards, and educational development platforms requiring reliable 2.54 mm pitch female headers. Its shrouded design is ideal for ribbon cable termination and daughter-card interfaces in rack systems where correct polarization is critical. The through-hole construction provides strong mechanical retention suitable for applications with vibration or repeated cable connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the female contact style of TST-115-04-F-D affect mating compatibility with standard pin headers?

The TST-115-04-F-D uses female receptacle contacts designed to mate with standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch male pin headers and IDC ribbon cable plugs. The 30-position dual-row layout accepts 30 male pins arranged in 2 rows of 15, with the shroud providing polarized engagement to prevent reverse insertion in systems where mis-mating at 5 V or higher logic levels could damage connected ICs.

In which embedded or industrial control applications is a shrouded 30-position header preferred over an unshrouded alternative?

Shrouded 30-position headers like the TST-115-04-F-D are preferred in industrial PLCs, CNC machine controllers, and embedded computing backplanes operating in environments with vibration or dense wiring, where the keyed housing prevents incorrect cable attachment across 30 signal lines. Unshrouded alternatives save a few millimeters of height but sacrifice the polarization feature that protects 3.3 V or 5 V logic signals from reverse-connection damage during field maintenance.

What is the through-hole pin retention strength of TST-115-04-F-D, and why does it matter for wave-solder assembly?

The through-hole contacts of the TST-115-04-F-D are designed for wave or selective solder assembly, with each pin passing through a 1.0 mm to 1.2 mm plated-through hole and forming a solder fillet that provides strong mechanical pull-out retention exceeding 10 N per contact. This ensures the 30-position header withstands cable strain and repeated connector insertions without pad lifting, which is critical in high-cycle board-to-cable applications.
