Key Features
- 72-position dual-row shrouded header on 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch for high-density board-to-board connections
- Shrouded housing prevents pin misalignment during mating, improving assembly reliability in dense PCB designs
- Square-pin male contacts compatible with standard 0.100" dual-row socket housings across many embedded platforms
Applications
The TST-136-04-F-D is designed for high-density board-to-board interconnect in industrial control systems, embedded computing, and data acquisition hardware. Its 72-position layout across dual rows at 0.100" pitch supports simultaneous routing of power and signal lines on a single connector. It is also used in rack-mounted instrumentation and backplane assemblies where reliable, repeatable mating with large pin-count dual-row sockets is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and rows does the TST-136-04-F-D provide, and what pitch does it use?
The TST-136-04-F-D provides 72 positions arranged in 2 rows of 36, on a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This high pin count and standard pitch make it straightforward to route large numbers of signals and power lines to a mating dual-row socket in industrial and embedded systems.
In which high-density interconnect applications is the TST-136-04-F-D most commonly used?
Engineers typically use the TST-136-04-F-D in backplane assemblies, industrial control cards, and data acquisition systems where 72 contacts at 0.100" pitch must simultaneously carry signals and low-voltage power, reducing connector count and board real estate compared to using multiple smaller headers.
Is the TST-136-04-F-D compatible with standard 0.100" dual-row socket housings from other manufacturers?
Yes. The 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch and square-pin male contacts of the TST-136-04-F-D are compatible with industry-standard dual-row 0.100" pitch socket housings. However, the shroud dimensions are Samtec-specific, so confirm mating connector clearances before substituting an alternative socket in a design with 72 pins.
