Through-hole solder termination gives a mechanical anchor that resists the cable strain from the wire harness — the 0.138\" (3.50 mm) post length provides enough solder fillet for a reliable joint on a standard 1.6 mm PCB. ## Glow wire compliance — why it matters for appliance buyers This header carries a glow wire compliance feature, meaning it meets the IEC 60335-1 glow wire test for household appliances. The UL94 V-0 rated polyamide housing won't sustain a flame after the glow wire is removed — a requirement for equipment that sits inside an enclosure where a failed component could ignite nearby materials. The key difference is pitch: 5.00 mm on this part versus 2.50 mm on the sibling — so the board footprint is wider, and the per-contact current ceiling is higher on the 5.00 mm version because the wider pitch allows more copper trace width between pads. Position count differs: 2 positions on this header versus 3 on the sibling — a straight BOM line decision for a 2-circuit versus 3-circuit harness.","metaTitle":"1-2355812-2 TE Connectivity RAST 5 Header, 2-Pos, 5.00mm","metaDescription":"1-2355812-2 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors RAST 5 header, 2 positions, 5.00mm pitch, through-hole, silver contacts, glow wire compliant, UL94 V-0.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings","Pin Headers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Style":"Board to Cable/Wire","Series":"-","Package":"Bag","Features":"Board Guide, Glow Wire Compliant","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 4 Wall","Termination":"Solder","Applications":"-","Contact Type":"Tab","Contact Shape":"Rectangular","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Connector Type":"Header","Fastening Type":"Latch Holder","Number of Rows":"1","Pitch - Mating":"0.197\\\" (5.00mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"-","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Copper Alloy","Insulation Color":"Natural","Insulation Height":"0.504\\\" (12.80mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"2355812","Insulation Material":"Polyamide (PA), Nylon","Number of Positions":"2","Row Spacing - Mating":"-","Contact Finish - Post":"Silver","Contact Length - Post":"0.138\\\" (3.50mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"-","Operating Temperature":"-","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"-","Contact Finish - Mating":"Silver","Contact Length - Mating":"-","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Contact Finish Thickness - Post":"-","Contact Finish Thickness - Mating":"-"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.0500","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.05000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.99800","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.82250","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.74778","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.64660","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.55423","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10000,"price":"$0.52784","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/70edefedebed82d50cd025d949a635d4.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the contact plating on 1-2355812-2?","answer":"Silver plating on both the mating tab and the solder post."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/1-2355812-2","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/1-2355812-2 when reusing this data.
