What are the key features of TST-136-02-F-D?
- 72 contacts (36 positions dual-row) at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch in a 3.9 inch shrouded body for high-count board-to-board connections
- Gold flash over nickel mating finish on phosphor bronze contacts ensuring low contact resistance and reliable mating across 250+ cycles
- Full shroud polarization preventing misalignment during mating, protecting contacts from mechanical damage and ESD in rugged environments
What is TST-136-02-F-D used for?
The TST-136-02-F-D is well-suited for parallel bus interconnections in industrial control systems, embedded single-board computers, and test and measurement backplanes requiring 72 signal or mixed signal/power lines. Its shrouded design makes it ideal for blind-mate applications in rack-mounted equipment where visual alignment is not possible. The dual-row phosphor bronze contact array supports both digital logic and low-power supply distribution across mezzanine boards and daughter card expansion slots.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contact material and plating specification does the TST-136-02-F-D use, and how does it affect contact resistance over repeated mating cycles?
The TST-136-02-F-D uses phosphor bronze contacts with gold flash over nickel (50 microinch minimum gold) on the mating surfaces and matte tin over nickel on the termination side. This combination maintains contact resistance below 20 mΩ per pin across a rated cycle life of 250 mating cycles. The phosphor bronze alloy provides the spring force needed to maintain reliable contact pressure without permanent deformation over the connector's service life.
How much PCB board area does the TST-136-02-F-D occupy, and how should its 3.9 inch body length factor into a backplane layout?
The TST-136-02-F-D body measures 3.9 inches (99 mm) in length and 0.365 inch (9.3 mm) in both breadth and depth, occupying approximately 921 mm² of PCB surface area. In a backplane layout, designers should reserve a 105 mm × 12 mm keep-out zone including solder clearance. The 72-pin count makes it suitable as a primary expansion connector on single-slot backplanes without needing multiple smaller headers.
When sourcing the TST-136-02-F-D for a prototype run, what lead times and minimum order quantities are typical?
SAMTEC TST-136-02-F-D connectors are typically available from authorized distributors such as Digi-Key and Mouser in quantities from 1 unit, with stock-order delivery in 2 to 5 business days for domestic shipments. For volume orders of 250 or more units, factory lead times are generally 4 to 8 weeks depending on demand. The connector is RoHS compliant and available with standard matte tin termination finish for compatibility with lead-free wave solder processes.
