The header is potted — the contact base is encapsulated in the housing. This seals the termination area against solder flux during wave soldering and against condensation in humid environments. It's a construction detail you don't see on standard unsealed headers, and it matters for appliance and white-good applications where the board sees washdown or high-humidity cycling. The 2 A ceiling is typical for signal-level circuits — don't plan to carry motor or heater current through this header. The 120°C upper limit covers most appliance and industrial cabinet environments, but not engine-compartment or hot-side lighting. ## Glow Wire, Locking Ramp, and UL94 V-0 Glow wire compliant per IEC 60335-1 — this is the safety standard for household appliances. The header won't sustain a flame when the glow wire test is applied, which is a mandatory requirement for white goods sold in Europe and increasingly adopted globally. Housing is UL94 V-0 rated polyamide (nylon). V-0 means the material stops burning within 10 seconds after the flame is removed, with no flaming drips. ## Active Production — Sourcing and Lifecycle","metaTitle":"4-2232960-4 TE Connectivity RAST 2.5 Potted Header, 4 Pos","metaDescription":"4-2232960-4 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors RAST 2.5 header, 4 position, 2.50mm pitch, tin-plated, glow wire compliant, potted construction.","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":"Bulk","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":"Locking Ramp","Number of Rows":"1","Pitch - Mating":"0.098\\\" (2.50mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"50VAC","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Copper Alloy","Insulation Color":"Natural","Insulation Height":"0.610\\\" (15.49mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"2232960","Insulation Material":"Polyamide (PA), Nylon","Number of Positions":"4","Row Spacing - Mating":"-","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"0.110\\\" (2.79mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"2A","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~120°C","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"-","Contact Finish - Mating":"Tin","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":"$0.8600","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.86000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.72400","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.65060","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.53228","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.47313","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.41399","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10000,"price":"$0.39329","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/b2916d9a681d2e99af05463d05ea9837.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/4-2232960-4/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Does 4-2232960-4 have a locking ramp?","answer":"Yes, the fastening type is a locking ramp.
