Hirose Durable DF62 slim inline connectors

Hirose has developed the robust DF62 Series slim inline connectors, designed to take advantage of small/confined spaces. They come equipped with a locking structure that gives the user two lock completion indicators - a tactile click and a visual check of the socket lock through the plug slit.

The series utilises its smooth contours and a multirow pin layout that arranges its contacts in a grid pattern, reducing the diagonal diameter by 50%. There is no exposed metal on the connector, which eliminates the possibility of short circuits between the connector and the inside of metal conduits. The small size and high durability of the connector make it suitable for servo amp, LED lighting and portable medical device applications.

The connectors feature box-shaped female contacts that work as a mating guide for male contacts, virtually eliminating contact buckling. A two-point crimp contact design delivers a connection that is resistant to shock and vibration. The reinforced lances prevent deformation caused by cable pulling and increase the connection strength. The lance strength of a properly secured connection is rated at 25 N/pin.
