Frequently Asked Questions

What pin count and pitch does the TST-136-05-T-D shrouded header provide?

The TST-136-05-T-D provides 72 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This industry-standard pitch is compatible with a wide range of IDC ribbon cables, mating sockets, and crimp housings used in embedded and industrial system wiring.

How does the shroud on TST-136-05-T-D reduce wiring errors during field assembly?

The integrated shroud of the TST-136-05-T-D physically guides the mating connector into the correct orientation, preventing reverse insertion and pin misalignment. This polarization feature is critical in 72-pin connectors where miswiring could damage 36 or more signal lines simultaneously, improving assembly reliability in production environments.

When should a designer choose TST-136-05-T-D over an unshrouded header of the same pitch?

A designer should choose the TST-136-05-T-D when the application requires polarized mating to prevent mis-insertion, particularly where field service technicians connect ribbon cables to 72-pin headers without visual pin-1 markings. The shroud adds approximately 2 mm to the overall connector height compared to unshrouded headers but provides essential mechanical protection for all 72 contacts.
