Silver plating on both the mating tab and the solder post keeps contact resistance low for the current level, but silver is softer than gold — expect the mating cycle life to be adequate for a one-time assembly or field-service reconnect, not a daily unplug cycle. It also carries a glow wire compliant designation, which means the housing material passes the IEC 60695-2-11 glow-wire test at the relevant temperature. That compliance is a gate for white goods, HVAC controls, and similar appliance applications where the connector sits near a potential ignition source. This is a through-hole header with a 4-wall shroud and a latch holder fastening system. The insulation height is 0.504\" (12.80 mm).","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 4-1971896-4 Header, 4 Pos 5.00mm, 20A","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 4-1971896-4, 4-position single-row header, 5.00mm pitch, 20A, silver-plated contacts, shrouded with latch, glow wire compliant, UL94 V-0.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Style":"Board to Cable/Wire","Series":"-","Package":"Bulk","Features":"Board Guide, Glow Wire Compliant","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 4 Wall","Termination":"Solder","Applications":"General Purpose","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":"250VAC","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Copper Alloy","Insulation Color":"Natural","Insulation Height":"0.504\\\" (12.80mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"1971896","Insulation Material":"Polyamide (PA), Nylon","Number of Positions":"4","Row Spacing - Mating":"-","Contact Finish - Post":"Silver","Contact Length - Post":"0.138\\\" (3.50mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"20A","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 120°C","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":"$1.0061","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/b9243ce79e2e3d290cd32651049ead69.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/4-1971896-4/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy 4-1971896-4?","answer":"Contact the storefront with your BOM line for a same-day quote."},{"question":"Is 4-1971896-4 glow wire compliant?","answer":"Yes, the 4-1971896-4 carries a glow wire compliant feature on its housing, alongside a UL94 V-0 flammability rating, making it suitable for appliance and industrial equipment applications that require glow-wire testing per IEC 60695-2-11."},{"question":"Does 4-1971896-4 have a latch?","answer":"Yes, the fastening type is listed as Latch Holder, meaning the header locks to the mating receptacle for vibration-resistant retention."},{"question":"What is the pitch of 4-1971896-4?","answer":"The mating pitch is 0.197\" (5.00 mm), a standard spacing for power-class wire-to-board connectors."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/4-1971896-4","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/4-1971896-4 when reusing this data.
