The 10.16 mm pitch is wide enough to handle the 30 A per circuit rating — each tab contact carries bus-level current, not signal-level. The four-wall shrouded housing with detent lock protects the mating interface and prevents accidental unmating under vibration. Board locks on the through-hole solder tails hold the header in place during wave solder and resist shear forces from cable strain. ## Ratings and what they mean for the fit 30 A per circuit is the headline rating — each power blade is sized for the main DC rail or 480 VAC industrial bus, not a signal line. The 630 V rating gives headroom above standard 480 VAC three-phase systems. Gold plating on the mating side at 15.0 µin supports repeated mating cycles in field-service applications; the tin-plated solder tails are standard for wave-solder wetting. The -55°C to 105°C operating range covers industrial cabinet and outdoor telecom enclosure environments. UL94 V-0 housing meets the flame rating required for equipment inside an enclosure. ## Mating and termination This header mates with the matching Dynamic D-5200 receptacle housing (sold separately) that accepts the tab contacts. The detent lock provides audible feedback on full mate. Termination is through-hole solder — the 0.150\" post length suits standard 1.6 mm PCBs. The IP20 rating means the mated pair is finger-safe but not sealed; this connector belongs inside a cabinet or enclosure, not in a washdown or outdoor location. ## Sourcing and lifecycle The 2-179960-2 carries an Active lifecycle status from TE Connectivity — no end-of-life notice, no last-time-buy window. It is RoHS compliant. No official second-source or cross-reference on record — the Dynamic D-5200 series is TE proprietary.","metaTitle":"TE Dynamic D-5200 2-179960-2 Header, 6 Pos, 30 A","metaDescription":"TE 2-179960-2 Dynamic D-5200 header, 6-circuit, 10.16mm pitch, 30A per circuit, gold-plated contacts, board lock, UL94 V-0, RoHS.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Dynamic D-5200","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings","Pin Headers"],"specifications":{"Style":"Board to Cable/Wire","title":"2-179960-2","Series":"Dynamic D-5200","Package":"Bulk","Features":"Board Lock","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 4 Wall","Termination":"Solder","description":"CONN HEADER VERT 6POS 10.16MM","Applications":"General Purpose, Industrial","Contact Type":"Tab","Contact Shape":"Rectangular","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Connector Type":"Header","Fastening Type":"Detent Lock","Number of Rows":"1","Pitch - Mating":"0.400\\\" (10.16mm)","Voltage Rating":"630V","Contact Material":"Copper Alloy","Insulation Color":"Black","Insulation Height":"1.260\\\" (32.00mm)","Ingress Protection":"IP20","Base Product Number":"179960","Insulation Material":"Thermoplastic, Polyester, Glass Filled","Number of Positions":"6","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"0.150\\\" (3.81mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"30A","Operating Temperature":"-55°C ~ 105°C","Contact Finish - Mating":"Gold","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Contact Finish Thickness - Mating":"15.0µin (0.38µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$7.6400","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$7.64000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$6.65400","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$5.91890","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$5.53368","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$4.93828","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/4ebce3545a27a55c392d47baefcc9d03.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy 2-179960-2?","answer":"Contact the storefront with your BOM quantity for a same-day quote."},{"question":"What is the current rating of 2-179960-2?","answer":"The 2-179960-2 is rated 30 A per circuit, making it suitable for power distribution rather than signal-level interconnect."},{"question":"Does 2-179960-2 have board locks?","answer":"Yes, the 2-179960-2 includes board locks on the through-hole solder tails for retention during wave solder and vibration resistance."},{"question":"Is 2-179960-2 RoHS compliant?","answer":"Yes, the 2-179960-2 is RoHS compliant per TE Connectivity's listing."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/2-179960-2","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/2-179960-2 when reusing this data.
