Hirose Electric DF63 3.96mm Pitch Board-to-Wire Connectors

Hirose Electric DF63 3.96mm Pitch Board-to-Wire Connectors are rated for up to 10A maximum when using 16AWG wire. The DF63 locking mechanism provides a clear and tactile click that prevents incomplete mating and incorrect insertion. The pin header comes with a guide post to prevent reverse insertion on the PCB. The lance is part of the housing instead of being a part of the terminal, which prevents tangled wires during assembly. The wall structure between the contacts helps to isolate the contacts and prevents short circuits between contacts. Hirose DF63 Connectors are capable of being potted, up to 5mm. Glass-reinforced resin is used on the pin header to prevent solder cracks due to thermal contraction. Keying options prevent incorrect connections due to the use of multiple connectors on the same board. When using identical pin counts, two versions are available with different keying options.

Features

  • Capacity to handle a maximum of 10A when using 16 AWG wire MAX 10A/pin AWG ♯16 7A AWG ♯18
  • A locking mechanism that ensures a secure and completed connection: The locking mechanism delivers a clear and tactile click the prevents incomplete mating
  • Prevents incomplete insertion of the crimp contact
  • Prevents incorrect insertion between different poles
  • Reverse mounting prevention to PCB: The pin header is equipped with a guide post to prevent reverse insertion on the PCB
  • Molded lance design: The lance is actually part of the housing instead of being a part of the terminal. This prevents tangled wires during assembly
  • Short-circuit prevention: The wall structure between the contacts helps to isolate the contacts and prevents short circuits between contacts
  • Capable of being potted, up to 5mm
  • Solder Crack prevention: Glass-reinforced resin is used on the pin header to prevent solder cracks due to thermal contraction
  • Keying options prevent incorrect connections due to the use of multiple connectors on the same board. When using identical pin counts, two versions are available with different keying options
  • Corresponds with 7.92mm pitch: Also corresponds with 7.92mm pitch with 2 or 3 pos. without pins
