Hirose launches slim in-line, wire-to-wire connector series
Hirose have introduced the DF62 Series for applications needing wire-to-wire connections inside small and narrow spaces.
The connector housings are low profile. The mated dimensions of the plug and socket are only 18.6mm length and the height and width are under 10mm. The connector outline is contoured to prevent it from being trapped in a small area during the wiring process.
Secure locking of the connector is guaranteed. The positive lock gives a clear tactile sensation and an audible click to confirm correct engagement. The lock strength is an impressive 50N despite its small size. The visible lock structure has a slot to allow a visual check of complete mating.
Highly reliable crimp contacts are utilised to provide strong resistance against rough operation and vibration. The box shape contact head of the female contact works as a mating guide to align the male contact, enabling smooth mating and the prevention of contact buckling. Furthermore, the crimp contact has two special contact points that protrude slightly to follow the surface of the male contact during the mating process giving a more durable connection. The lance area of the crimp contact is reinforced to prevent the cable being pulled out. The lance strength is 25N/pin using AWG28 cable.
