The current rating is not a single number: 3.5A when terminated with 22-24 AWG wire, 5A with 18-20 AWG. That means the limiting factor is the wire's temperature rise inside the sealed cavity, not the contact itself. For a harness builder, this means the same housing can serve a 3.5A sensor circuit or a 5A actuator circuit by swapping the wire gauge, as long as the tab contact is rated for the same current. ## Mating Cycles and Field Replacement — 30 Cycles, Seal Wear Rated for 30 mating cycles, this housing is not designed for frequent disconnect-reconnect duty. The IP67 seal compresses each time the connector is mated, and after 30 cycles the seal may no longer guarantee the IP rating. For a field-service technician, this means the housing should be treated as a semi-permanent connection — plan for replacement if the harness is disconnected more than a few times over its life. The latch lock provides audible feedback on engagement, but the seal wear is the real cycle-life limit.","metaTitle":"TE 2106136-3 SlimSeal Receptacle Housing, 3-Pos, IP67, 400V","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 2106136-3 SlimSeal receptacle housing, 3 positions, 3.50mm pitch, IP67 sealed, rated 400V / 3.5-5A.
