Active Sourcing for a 5-Pin 2.00 mm BOM Line
The 2 A ceiling and the gold mating finish (15.0 µinch) place it in signal-duty territory — think control lines, sensor inputs, or low-power board interconnects, not a motor feed.
It saves board real estate but demands a matching 2.00 mm receptacle — the AMPMODU series offers several, all keyed to the same pitch. In a board-to-board application where the header sees occasional rework or field replacement, that finish resists fretting corrosion better than a tin-to-tin interface would.
Peer Comparison — 1376779-2 vs 2355179-5
The difference is contact finish thickness — 2355179-5 carries 15.0 µinch gold on the mating face, while 1376779-2 uses 8.00 µinch gold. For applications under 100 mating cycles the thinner gold is adequate; above that the 15.0 µinch finish gives a longer fretting-life margin. Both are Active and RoHS3 compliant. The 2355179-5 ships in a tube; the 1376779-2 ships in a box. If your pick-and-place feeder prefers tube or box, that may tip the choice.
Compliance and Environmental Range
That covers most indoor industrial and automotive cabin environments, though the 2 A current derating above 85°C should be checked against the actual load.
