What are the key features of TST-136-05-G-D?

  • 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) standard pitch ensures broad cable and socket compatibility across sourcing options
  • Shrouded housing provides polarization and protects contacts from mis-mating and mechanical damage
  • Dual-row 72-position layout delivers high pin count in a compact through-hole footprint

What is TST-136-05-G-D used for?

The TST-136-05-G-D is widely used in industrial control panels, embedded computing modules, and test-and-measurement equipment that require reliable board-to-cable or board-to-board connectivity with keyed polarization. Its 0.100-inch pitch supports standard ribbon cable assemblies and IDC connectors, enabling quick field wiring in prototyping and production environments. The shrouded design prevents reverse insertion, making it a dependable choice for high-cycle maintenance scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the pitch and position count specifications of the TST-136-05-G-D?

The TST-136-05-G-D is a dual-row header with 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch and 72 total positions, split evenly as 36 pins per row. This standard pitch supports off-the-shelf IDC ribbon cable assemblies rated up to 300 V and 1 A per contact, simplifying system wiring in production builds.

How does the shrouded housing on the TST-136-05-G-D protect against mis-mating in field-installed systems?

The polarized shroud physically prevents reversed connector insertion by providing an asymmetric keying slot that aligns mating sockets in only one orientation. This reduces field wiring errors in industrial installations where 72 signals must remain correctly assigned, protecting downstream circuitry rated at logic-level voltages from reverse-polarity damage.

Which applications are best served by the TST-136-05-G-D dual-row header in embedded computing designs?

Embedded computing backplanes, FPGA development boards, and PLC I/O expansion cards are prime applications. The 72-pin configuration accommodates full parallel data buses of 32 bits plus control signals, while the 0.100-inch pitch permits low-cost ribbon cable harnesses and standard 2.54 mm socket strips to mate reliably over thousands of insertion cycles.

When is the TST-136-05-G-D a practical alternative to higher-density fine-pitch connectors for rapid prototyping?

The TST-136-05-G-D is preferable when prototyping speed and cable availability outweigh board real-estate concerns. Standard 0.100-inch pitch headers accept breadboard jumpers and IDC connectors available from nearly every distributor, reducing sourcing lead time to under 2 business days versus specialty fine-pitch socket assemblies that may require 4 to 6 weeks.
