What are the key features of TST-132-03-F-D?

  • 64-position dual-row female shrouded header at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch in a 3.5" body for high-capacity signal connections
  • Gold flash over nickel contact finish ensures low contact resistance and corrosion resistance across hundreds of mating cycles
  • Phosphor bronze contact material provides the spring-back and mechanical durability required for reliable long-term pin engagement

What is TST-132-03-F-D used for?

The TST-132-03-F-D is used for 64-signal backplane and daughter-card interconnects in industrial controllers, embedded computing platforms, and test equipment requiring a robust shrouded female header at 2.54 mm pitch. The gold-flashed contacts and phosphor bronze spring material ensure consistent low-resistance connections in environments subject to vibration or thermal cycling. The polarized shroud prevents mis-mating, making it suitable for field-serviceable modules and high-reliability slot connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What body dimensions and pitch does the TST-132-03-F-D use, and how do they constrain PCB layout?

The TST-132-03-F-D has a 3.5" body length and 0.365" body breadth at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, providing 64 positions in a dual-row through-hole arrangement of 32 contacts per row. These dimensions fix the connector footprint to a 32 x 2 grid on a 2.54 mm matrix, requiring approximately 78 mm of board length and leaving minimal routing clearance for adjacent components on densely populated backplane PCBs.

Why does the gold flash over nickel contact finish on TST-132-03-F-D matter for procurement in corrosion-prone environments?

The gold flash over nickel plating provides an oxidation-resistant surface on all 64 phosphor bronze contacts, maintaining contact resistance below 30 milliohms even after exposure to humidity, industrial atmospheres, or sulfur-bearing environments. Gold-finished contacts are specified for applications where the connector may be unmated and remated infrequently, such as maintenance-access backplane slots in industrial controllers rated for operation at -40°C to 85°C ambient temperature.

How does the shroud on TST-132-03-F-D help in high-density 64-pin board assemblies compared to open-frame headers?

The molded shroud around all 64 female contacts provides keyed polarization that physically prevents a mating male header from inserting reversed, protecting logic signals on 3.3 V or 5 V signal lines from reverse-polarity damage. In high-density assemblies with multiple adjacent headers, the shroud also acts as a mechanical guide that aligns the 64 pins simultaneously during blind-mating, reducing assembly errors on rack-mounted backplane boards with limited visual access.
