What are the key features of TST-132-05-L-D?

  • 64-position dual-row shrouded header at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch with through-hole mounting for robust mechanical retention
  • Integrated shroud provides contact protection and polarization keying to prevent mis-mating in harsh industrial environments
  • Low-profile design with 5 mm tall shroud accommodates standard ribbon cable connectors and IDC mating assemblies

What is TST-132-05-L-D used for?

The TST-132-05-L-D is designed for backplane, ribbon cable, and board-to-wire interconnect applications in industrial control systems, embedded computing platforms, and laboratory test equipment. The 64-position shrouded format ensures reliable signal and power routing across 32 contacts per row while the integrated shroud protects pins during cable mating operations. This connector is widely used in PLC systems, data acquisition modules, and legacy instrumentation where 0.100" pitch remains the dominant interconnect standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the pitch and position count of the TST-132-05-L-D, and what mating connectors are compatible?

The TST-132-05-L-D has a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch with 64 total positions across 2 rows of 32 contacts each. It mates with standard 64-way IDC ribbon cable connectors and dual-row socket housings that conform to the common 0.100" grid, supporting ribbon widths of approximately 32 conductors per row.

How does the shroud on the TST-132-05-L-D protect connector contacts during field maintenance?

The integrated plastic shroud surrounds all 64 through-hole pins and raises the contact protection wall to approximately 5 mm above the PCB, shielding pins from accidental bending or contamination during ribbon cable mating and unmating. This reduces field failure rates in systems that undergo frequent cable disconnection cycles.

For which industrial or embedded computing platforms is the TST-132-05-L-D a preferred solution over unshielded headers?

The TST-132-05-L-D is preferred in PLC I/O modules, data acquisition backplanes, and ruggedized embedded systems where 64 signal lines must be routed reliably at 0.100" pitch. The shroud polarization prevents reversed cable connections that could damage 3.3 V or 5 V logic circuits, making it especially valuable in systems requiring field-replaceable cabling by non-technical personnel.
