What are the key features of TST-136-02-G-D?
- 72-position dual-row shrouded header on 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch with 3.9" body length for high-count board interconnects
- Phosphor bronze contacts plated with 10 µin gold over 50 µin nickel provide low contact resistance and extended mating life
- Shrouded housing with polarization key prevents mis-mating across all 72 positions, reducing wiring errors in field-installed systems
What is TST-136-02-G-D used for?
The TST-136-02-G-D is suited for industrial control systems, embedded computing backplanes, and test fixtures requiring 72-pin board-to-cable connections on the standard 0.100" pitch. Its large 3.9" body accommodates 72 signal lines in a single shrouded housing, simplifying harness routing in rack-mounted equipment. The gold-over-nickel phosphor bronze contacts also make it a durable choice for equipment subject to repeated connector insertions in production test environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contact finish does the TST-136-02-G-D use, and how does it affect electrical performance?
The TST-136-02-G-D uses phosphor bronze contacts plated with 10 µin gold over a 50 µin nickel barrier. The gold plating provides low and stable contact resistance, typically below 20 mΩ per contact, while the nickel diffusion barrier prevents gold migration over time. This finish is well suited for signal and low-power applications in industrial and communications equipment where reliable electrical contact must be maintained across hundreds of mating cycles.
For which backplane or harness assembly designs is the 72-position TST-136-02-G-D a practical choice?
The TST-136-02-G-D is a practical solution for systems that need 72 signal connections in a single connector, such as industrial backplane interconnects, data acquisition front-ends, and multi-axis motion controller wiring harnesses. Its 3.9" body on 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch is compatible with standard 72-conductor IDC ribbon cables, making it straightforward to integrate into existing 2.54 mm pitch tooling and cable assembly processes without custom tooling investment.
How does the shrouded design of the TST-136-02-G-D reduce assembly errors when connecting 72-pin ribbon cables?
The protective shroud on the TST-136-02-G-D physically keys the mating connector so technicians cannot insert a 72-conductor ribbon cable backwards or offset. With 72 positions across a 3.9" body, even a one-position misalignment would short signals, so the shroud eliminates this failure mode during production assembly and field servicing. The polarized housing also speeds up assembly by allowing one-motion insertion without verifying pin 1 orientation manually.
