Gold vs Tin — Mating Cycle Life and Contact Duty
Compared to the sibling 1376779-2, which carries 8.00 µinch gold on the mating face and a 3 A current rating at 250 VAC, this 2842139-6 uses thicker 15.0 µinch gold for a higher mating cycle budget but derates to 2 A at 125 VAC/DC. The choice hinges on whether the application needs more reconnect cycles or more current per circuit.
