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

  • 60-position dual-row shrouded PCB header at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch for standard through-hole board interconnects
  • Protective shroud guides mating connector alignment and prevents mis-insertion, enhancing reliability in repeated connection cycles
  • Dual-row layout provides high contact density in a compact PCB footprint suitable for backplane and daughter card assemblies

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

The TST-130-05-L-D is widely used in backplane systems, embedded computing boards, and industrial control applications requiring reliable 60-pin through-hole interconnects at standard 2.54 mm pitch. Its shrouded design makes it ideal for field-replaceable daughter cards, signal distribution boards, and development platforms where polarity protection is essential. The connector also finds application in test fixtures, robotics, and automation equipment where repeated mating and unmating cycles are expected.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the contact count and pitch of the SAMTEC TST-130-05-L-D header?

The TST-130-05-L-D is a 60-position dual-row shrouded PCB header with a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch, providing 30 contacts per row. This standard pitch ensures compatibility with a wide range of 0.1 inch pitch mating connectors and ribbon cable assemblies used in industrial and computing applications.

Why choose a shrouded header like the TST-130-05-L-D for a high-cycle daughtercard design?

The shroud on the TST-130-05-L-D guides the mating connector into correct alignment and prevents reverse insertion, reducing damage risk over thousands of mating cycles. For daughtercard designs with 60 contacts at 2.54 mm pitch, this prevents costly field failures and maintains signal integrity in vibration-prone industrial environments.

What mounting method does the TST-130-05-L-D use and what PCB hole size is required?

The TST-130-05-L-D uses through-hole mounting with compliant pin tails requiring standard PCB drilled holes, typically around 1.0 mm in diameter for secure press or solder installation. Through-hole mounting provides superior mechanical retention compared to surface-mount alternatives, especially important for connectors with 60 contacts subject to repeated mating forces.

When should the TST-130-05-L-D be considered as an alternative to an unshielded header in industrial systems?

The TST-130-05-L-D should replace an unshielded header in industrial systems where accidental mis-mating is a concern, as its shroud prevents reversed connector insertion across all 60 positions at 2.54 mm pitch. This is critical in harsh environments where operators may connect boards under low-visibility or vibration conditions, reducing the risk of damage or system downtime.
