What are the key features of TST-136-05-S-D?
- 72-position dual-row shrouded PCB header at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch for high pin-count through-hole board interconnects
- Protective shroud ensures correct mating alignment and eliminates accidental reverse insertion across all 72 contacts
- Single-piece molded shroud body provides robust mechanical support for high-cycle field-replaceable daughter card applications
What is TST-136-05-S-D used for?
The TST-136-05-S-D is suited for high pin-count backplane systems, programmable logic controller (PLC) I/O boards, and embedded computing platforms where 72-contact dual-row through-hole connections at 2.54 mm pitch are required. Its shrouded housing is particularly valuable in industrial automation, signal distribution panels, and development kits where polarity protection and secure connector alignment are essential. The connector also supports rack-mounted electronics and ruggedized systems where reliable repeated mating is necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact count and pitch of the SAMTEC TST-136-05-S-D PCB header?
The TST-136-05-S-D is a 72-position dual-row through-hole PCB header with 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch, providing 36 contacts per row. This standard pitch is widely compatible with ribbon cable assemblies, IDC connectors, and a broad range of mating socket strips used in industrial and embedded computing applications.
How does the shroud on TST-136-05-S-D protect a 72-contact system from mis-mating damage?
The TST-136-05-S-D shroud physically constrains the mating connector so that all 72 contacts align correctly before engagement, preventing pin offset or reverse insertion. This is critical in systems where operators frequently connect and disconnect daughter cards, as mis-mating a 72-contact connector without a shroud can bend pins and cause costly board failures.
Which industrial control and computing applications commonly use the TST-136-05-S-D?
The TST-136-05-S-D is commonly deployed in PLC I/O expansion modules, embedded SBC daughter cards, and industrial backplane assemblies requiring 72-pin through-hole connections at 2.54 mm pitch. Its high pin count and shrouded body make it ideal for signal aggregation in automation systems, test fixtures, and data acquisition boards processing dozens of parallel digital or analog signals.
Is TST-136-05-S-D a suitable drop-in alternative to a 72-position unshrouded header from other manufacturers?
Yes, the TST-136-05-S-D can serve as a drop-in replacement for any standard 72-position dual-row 0.100 inch pitch through-hole header that has a compatible footprint and shroud outline. It adds polarity protection absent in unshrouded alternatives, and its 2.54 mm pitch ensures compatibility with standard IDC ribbon cable plugs and socket connectors from multiple manufacturers.
