What are the key features of TST-136-02-S-D?

  • 72 positions in a dual-row 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch configuration spanning a 3.9" body length for high-channel-count ribbon cable termination
  • Matte tin over nickel contact finish provides excellent corrosion resistance and reliable contact integrity across 500+ mating cycles
  • Polarized shroud prevents mis-mating and ensures correct 72-pin ribbon cable orientation during field assembly

What is TST-136-02-S-D used for?

The TST-136-02-S-D is well suited for industrial backplane systems, embedded computing boards, and data acquisition hardware requiring a 72-position dual-row ribbon cable header with polarized mating. Its 3.9" body length and standard 0.100" pitch make it directly compatible with 72-conductor IDC ribbon cable assemblies, while the shrouded housing eliminates incorrect insertion in multi-connector panel designs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the body dimensions of the TST-136-02-S-D and how does that constrain PCB layout?

The TST-136-02-S-D has a body length of 3.9 inches, a breadth of 0.365 inch, and a depth of 0.365 inch. Designers must reserve a keep-out zone of at least 3.9 inches along the row axis on the PCB to accommodate the full 72-position dual-row footprint without conflicting with adjacent components or mounting holes.

Which ribbon cable configurations are directly compatible with the TST-136-02-S-D?

The TST-136-02-S-D mates with standard 72-conductor IDC ribbon cable assemblies built on 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, which are widely available in 28 AWG flat cable. The polarized shroud ensures the 72-pin IDC plug can only be inserted in the correct orientation, eliminating wiring errors in multi-drop bus configurations found in industrial PLC and data logger systems.

How does the matte tin over nickel contact finish of TST-136-02-S-D compare to gold-finished alternatives for cost-sensitive designs?

The matte tin over nickel finish on the TST-136-02-S-D provides adequate corrosion resistance and contact reliability for low-to-medium mating cycle applications (typically up to 500 cycles) at a significantly lower cost per connector than gold-finished alternatives. For designs where the 72-position header is mated infrequently, such as in field-service panels or production test fixtures, tin finish delivers the best cost-performance balance without sacrificing signal integrity.
