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

  • 72-position dual-row shrouded header at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch for high-density through-hole PCB interconnect
  • Phosphor bronze contacts with matte tin over nickel finish provide corrosion resistance and reliable mating across repeated cycles
  • Protective shroud aligns mating connectors and prevents mis-mating in high-vibration industrial and rack-mount applications

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

The TST-136-01-T-D is designed for high-density backplane, rack-mount, and card-edge interconnect systems in industrial automation, telecommunications, and embedded computing. Its 72-position, 0.100 inch pitch dual-row layout supports wide data buses, power rails, and control signals on a single header. The shrouded design protects contacts during blind mating and frequent connector cycling in test fixtures, VME backplanes, and modular instrumentation chassis.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the contact material and plating specifications of the TST-136-01-T-D?

The TST-136-01-T-D uses phosphor bronze contacts plated with matte tin over a nickel barrier on both the mating and termination surfaces. This combination delivers a contact resistance typically below 20 milliohms while resisting corrosion in industrial environments where humidity and mild contaminants are present.

What total position count and body length does the TST-136-01-T-D provide, and how does this support wide data bus designs?

The TST-136-01-T-D provides 72 positions arranged in a dual-row layout at 0.100 inch pitch across a 3.9 inch body length. This capacity supports 64-bit data buses with additional ground, power, and control lines, making it suitable for VME, cPCI, and proprietary backplane architectures in industrial and defense systems.

How does the shroud on TST-136-01-T-D protect connections in rack-mount or blind-mating environments?

The shroud surrounding the 72 male contacts guides the mating connector into alignment, preventing pin damage during blind insertion in rack-mount chassis or automated assembly. This mechanical keying ensures that all contacts engage simultaneously, reducing the risk of bent pins or incomplete connections across the 0.100 inch pitch dual-row interface.

Which PCB termination style does the TST-136-01-T-D use, and how does it compare to surface-mount alternatives for high-cycle applications?

The TST-136-01-T-D uses through-hole termination, soldering each of the 72 contacts into the PCB for maximum mechanical retention. Compared to surface-mount alternatives, through-hole mounting withstands higher axial and shear forces, making this connector preferable in applications requiring 500 or more mating cycles or exposure to shock and vibration exceeding 5g.
