What sets this header apart from a standard unsealed part is the IP67 rating — dust-tight and waterproof when mated with the matching SlimSeal receptacle. That makes it a candidate for outdoor LED lighting, washdown sensors, or any assembly that sees hose spray or condensation. ## Current Rating: Wire-Gauge Dependent With 18-20 AWG wire the header is rated 5A per circuit; drop to 22-24 AWG and the rating falls to 3.5A per circuit. That derating reflects the IR drop and temperature rise in the smaller conductor, not the contact itself. For a 2-position connector, the total current through the pair is double the per-circuit figure, but the wire gauge must match the load on each pin. ## Mating Cycles: Semi-Permanent Interconnect Rated for 30 mating cycles, this header is not intended for frequent disconnect/reconnect — think of it as a semi-permanent interconnect inside a luminaire or a sealed junction box. The tin-plated brass contacts are adequate for that cycle count; if the application requires hundreds of matings, a gold-plated alternative would be needed.","metaTitle":"TE 2106056-2 SlimSeal Header, 2 Pos, 0.138\" Pitch, IP67","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity SlimSeal 2106056-2 right-angle SMT header, 2 positions, 0.138\" (3.50mm) pitch, IP67 sealed, rated 5A (18-20 AWG).","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Wire-to-Board Connectors","LED Lighting Connectors"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Pitch":"0.138\\\" (3.50mm)","Style":"Board to Cable/Wire","Series":"SlimSeal","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR) Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Solder Retention","Wire Gauge":"-","Termination":"Solder","Housing Color":"Black","Mating Cycles":"30","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount, Right Angle","Connector Type":"Header, Male Pins","Contact Finish":"Tin","Fastening Type":"Latch Lock","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"400V","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Brass","Housing Material":"Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)","Ingress Protection":"IP67 - Dust Tight, Waterproof","Base Product Number":"2106056","Number of Positions":"2","Current Rating (Amps)":"3.5A (22-24AWG); 5A (18-20 AWG)","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 105°C"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$7.5500","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/2106056-2/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the mating connector for TE 2106056-2?","answer":"The 2106056-2 mates with the matching SlimSeal receptacle housing (female side) from the same series.
