What are the key features of TST-130-03-L-D?
- 60 positions dual-row 0.100" pitch shrouded PCB header with polarized housing to prevent mis-mating
- Gold (10 µin) over nickel mating contact finish provides low contact resistance and corrosion resistance exceeding 500 mating cycles
- Square-pin (SQ PIN-SKT) contact style ensures positive four-point contact engagement in mating socket strips
- Through-hole termination with tin-over-nickel barrier delivers robust solder joint strength for high-vibration applications
What is TST-130-03-L-D used for?
The TST-130-03-L-D is widely used in industrial automation, embedded computing, and test-and-measurement systems requiring a robust 60-position dual-row shrouded header at 0.100" pitch. The shrouded housing guides mating socket strips into correct alignment during assembly and protects contact pins from physical damage in field-service environments. Through-hole mounting ensures high pull-out strength needed for cable-to-board interconnects in vibration-prone industrial machinery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the shrouded housing on the TST-130-03-L-D provide compared to unshrouded 0.100" headers?
The shrouded housing of the TST-130-03-L-D encases all 60 square pin contacts within a 0.365 inch by 3.3 inch polarized housing, guiding the mating socket strip into precise alignment and preventing the one-row offset insertion errors common with unshrouded headers. The shroud also shields contacts from accidental bending during board handling and protects against contamination in industrial environments. Unshrouded headers are more susceptible to cross-mating with incompatible connectors, which can damage square pins rated for only 3 A per contact.
How many mating cycles can the gold-plated contacts of TST-130-03-L-D reliably sustain in field-service applications?
The mating contacts carry a 10 microinch gold finish over a nickel barrier, engineered to deliver consistent contact resistance below 20 mΩ for a minimum of 500 insertion-withdrawal cycles per IEC 60512 test standards. This level of durability suits board-swap field service in industrial and medical equipment where a given connector may be mated and un-mated dozens of times over the system's 10-year service life. The tin-terminated through-hole tails remain unaffected by repeated mating of the top contacts.
What through-hole soldering profile is recommended for reliably attaching TST-130-03-L-D to a 60-position dual-row footprint?
SAMTEC recommends wave soldering at 250°C to 260°C peak temperature with a 3-second to 5-second dwell time for the TST-130-03-L-D tin-over-nickel barrier tails. Hand soldering using a 25 W to 40 W iron is also acceptable for prototyping. The through-hole pins occupy a 0.100" x 0.100" grid pattern in a 30 x 2 arrangement, so the PCB drill diameter should be 0.042 inch (1.07 mm) to ensure proper solder fillet formation and a minimum annular ring of 0.005 inch on each of the 60 pins.
How does TST-130-03-L-D compare to a ribbon cable IDC connector for a 60-signal wiring harness?
The TST-130-03-L-D is a board-mounted header requiring a separate mating socket or IDC receptacle on the cable side, whereas a dedicated IDC header integrates the cable-termination IDC teeth into the connector body. The TST-130-03-L-D offers superior signal integrity for frequencies up to 50 MHz due to its square-pin contacts with 10 µin gold finish, compared to IDC contacts that use displacement termination and may introduce higher contact resistance. It also supports 3 A per pin, making it suitable for mixed power-and-signal 60-pin harnesses where IDC connectors typically handle only 1 A per contact.
