What are the key features of TST-136-01-H-D?

  • 72-position dual-row shrouded header at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch in a 3.9 inch body length provides broad compatibility with standard IDC cable assemblies and socket connectors
  • 30 micro-inch gold over nickel contact finish ensures low contact resistance and extended mating cycle life exceeding 500 insertions on all 72 male square pins
  • Integral shroud enforces correct mating orientation and protects 72 square pins from mechanical damage during cable assembly and field service operations

What is TST-136-01-H-D used for?

The TST-136-01-H-D is used in industrial control panels, embedded computing backplanes, and test fixture interconnects where a 72-position 0.100 inch pitch shrouded header provides robust and polarized board-to-cable connections. Its 3.9 inch body length accommodates wide ribbon cables in rack-mounted systems and expansion chassis, while the gold-plated square pins ensure reliable contact with IDC sockets in high-mating-cycle environments. Laboratory instruments and ATE systems benefit from the shroud's mismating protection across repeated cable connect-disconnect operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does 30 micro-inch gold plating on TST-136-01-H-D male pins benefit high-cycle test fixture applications?

A 30 micro-inch gold finish over nickel provides a hard, low-oxidation contact surface that maintains contact resistance below 20 milliohms across 500 or more mating cycles on all 72 square pins. In ATE and test fixture environments where connectors are mated and unmated multiple times daily, this gold thickness significantly outlasts 15 micro-inch or gold-flash alternatives, reducing fixture downtime and repair frequency.

For a 3.9 inch long 72-position header like TST-136-01-H-D, what ribbon cable width is required for a matching IDC assembly?

A 72-position dual-row 0.100 inch pitch connector mates with a 72-conductor ribbon cable, which is 36 conductors per row and approximately 3.6 inches (91.4 mm) wide at standard 0.050 inch conductor spacing. Standard 72-way IDC connectors and flat cables designed for 0.100 inch pitch headers are widely available, making cable assembly straightforward without custom tooling.

How does the shrouded housing of TST-136-01-H-D reduce wiring errors in industrial control panel assembly?

The shroud on TST-136-01-H-D mechanically blocks reverse insertion and offset mating of the 72-position cable connector, ensuring that pin 1 of the cable always mates with pin 1 of the header across the 3.9 inch body length. In industrial control panels where wiring is done by technicians under production time pressure, this prevents miswiring that could damage PLC I/O modules or field sensors rated at 24 V DC or lower signal levels.
