Addressing the increasing requirement of compact, high powered, wire-to-board connectors offering advanced reliability for power supplies, Hirose introduced the DF65 series. The connector range consists of cable mount, female crimp sockets and board mount, male headers that feature mated height profiles of only 1,8 mm.
Featuring 1,7 mm pitch and currently available with 3, 4, 5 or 6 contacts, the connectors carry power (up to 4 A on AWG #24 cable) on their outer contacts, and signals (up to 1 A) on the remainder. They are rated to 50 V a.c./d.c. and are good for up to 30 mating cycles.
The header utilises robust blade contacts to resist against mechanical stress and wrenching forces. The cable socket uses crimp contacts which are positioned within a strengthened housing lance to increase the retention of the crimp contact into the housing to prevent the cable pulling loose.
High reliability is ensured with a double locking mechanism. The crimp socket mates to the header vertically to utilise unused available space; during this process the crimp socket engages with the positive and friction lock which provides a tactile clicking sensation to confirm correct mating and secure locking. The double lock also prevents the receptacle from floating.
