Low-profile horizontal mating connectors

The newest connector, the DF64 Series, is a horizontally mated 2-piece connector system available for board-to-board and board-to-wire interfaces. The 2-position DF64 Series connector measures 20.4mm x 14.4mm and has a mated height of just 4.7mm. Developed for higher power applications, the DF64 uses 18-24 AWG wire and can carry 5A of current.

Unlike conventional horizontally mated connectors that require a different series of connectors between board-to-board and board-to-wire interfaces, the DF64 Series features a common receptacle that mates with the header and the cable plug. As a result, manufacturers using the DF64 Series can simplify their assembly and eliminate the time and cost needed to maintain inventory of any additional components. In addition, the DF64’s simplified assembly provides high connection reliability while enabling easy and efficient repairs when necessary.

The Hirose DF64 Series connectors are UL Recognized and a voltage rating of 350V AC/VDC. They are RoHS compliant, halogen-free, and are capable of operating at 105°C. Typical applications for the Hirose DF64 Series connectors include LED lighting, medical devices, copiers, factory automation controllers, and general board-to-wire connections.
