What are the key features of TST-130-05-G-D?

  • 60-position dual-row shrouded header at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch with integral keying and polarization preventing mis-mating on high-density 60-pin ribbon cable harnesses
  • Gold (G) contact plating ensuring low and stable contact resistance over thousands of mating cycles in high-reliability industrial and test applications
  • Dual-row (D) configuration providing 60 contacts in a footprint half the PCB length of an equivalent single-row header, maximizing board-edge interconnect density

What is TST-130-05-G-D used for?

The TST-130-05-G-D is a high-density shrouded header used in industrial automation, data acquisition systems, and test and measurement equipment requiring reliable 60-pin board-to-cable connectivity. The 0.100" pitch dual-row layout accommodates multiple signal buses, power rails, and ground references within a single keyed connector, reducing wiring harness complexity. Gold-plated contacts ensure consistent electrical performance across environments with temperature cycling from -55°C to +125°C and repeated mating operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the total pin count and pitch of the TST-130-05-G-D, and how does dual-row layout help in dense PCB designs?

The TST-130-05-G-D is a 60-position dual-row header at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, providing 30 contacts per row. The dual-row (D) design achieves 60 connections in approximately 76 mm of PCB edge length, whereas a single-row 60-position header at the same pitch would require about 152 mm. This makes the TST-130-05-G-D ideal for data acquisition and industrial control PCBs where board edge space is limited but high pin counts are required.

Why are gold-plated contacts specified on the TST-130-05-G-D for test and measurement applications?

Gold (G) plating on the TST-130-05-G-D contacts maintains contact resistance below 20 milliohms across thousands of mating cycles and resists oxidation over the full industrial temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. In test and measurement instruments where signal accuracy depends on low and stable contact resistance, gold plating is preferred over tin because it does not form resistive oxides that could introduce measurement errors or cause intermittent connections after repeated cable insertions.

How does the shrouded housing on the TST-130-05-G-D protect against wiring errors during harness installation?

The shrouded housing on the TST-130-05-G-D encloses all 60 contact pins within a keyed plastic frame that physically prevents a 60-pin ribbon cable connector from being inserted in the wrong orientation or offset position. This polarization is critical on 60-pin harnesses where a 2-pin offset would connect power to signal lines, potentially damaging circuitry operating at 3.3 V or 5 V logic levels. The shroud reduces field wiring errors during initial installation and maintenance of industrial and automation panels.
