What are the key features of TST-136-05-H-D?
- 72 contacts in a dual-row shrouded through-hole header on 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) standard pitch for broad connector compatibility
- Polarized shroud housing prevents mis-mating and provides mechanical protection for gold-plated signal contacts
- High-cycle mating design supports up to 3 A per contact for mixed signal and power distribution in PCB assemblies
What is TST-136-05-H-D used for?
The TST-136-05-H-D is widely used in industrial automation control boards, embedded computing backplanes, and power distribution daughter cards that require a high-density 72-position shrouded header at the industry-standard 0.100-inch pitch. The polarized shroud ensures correct orientation during field assembly and reduces insertion errors in high-volume manufacturing environments. It is also favored in test and measurement fixtures and communications equipment where reliable through-hole board-to-cable interconnects are critical.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TST-136-05-H-D provide, and what is its contact pitch?
The TST-136-05-H-D provides 72 positions arranged in a dual-row through-hole format with a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch. This industry-standard pitch ensures compatibility with a wide range of mating ribbon cable connectors and IDC sockets commonly used in industrial, computing, and instrumentation applications.
What current rating applies to the TST-136-05-H-D contacts, and how does the shroud aid assembly?
Each contact in the TST-136-05-H-D supports up to 3 A of continuous current, suitable for mixed signal and auxiliary power distribution on a single 72-pin connector. The polarizing shroud physically prevents reverse-insertion during PCB assembly and field service, reducing wiring errors and improving long-term reliability across thermal cycling from -55°C to +125°C.
Is TST-136-05-H-D a suitable replacement for a standard 72-pin dual-row 2.54 mm header in a cost-sensitive design?
Yes. The TST-136-05-H-D uses the same 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch and 72-pin dual-row footprint as generic through-hole headers, so it is a drop-in mechanical replacement. SAMTEC's Tiger Strip geometry adds higher contact retention and 3 A per pin rating, making it preferable when the application requires more robust mating or higher cycle life than a standard header provides.
