Hirose DF40 Series Straight Surface PCB Header 12 Contacts 0.4 mm Pitch 2 Row Shrouded DF40

Hirose DF40 Series 0.4 mm pitch straight surface mount PCB Header, model DF40C-12DP-0.4V(58), features 12 contacts arranged in 2 rows and a shrouded, male contact configuration suitable for board-to-board and board-to-FPC connections. Manufactured in Japan, this connector employs a liquid crystal polymer housing that withstands operating temperatures from -35°C up to 85°C, ensuring stable performance under diverse environmental conditions.

The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, enhancing electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion. The DF40 series connectors offer a compact and low-profile design with a pitch of 0.4 mm and a reinforced structure featuring shock-absorbing ribs that protect from mechanical stress. Guide ribs facilitate self-alignment during mating by 0.33 mm, guaranteeing precise connector engagement.

For assembly, the connectors use surface mount technology with nickel-plated barriers preventing solder wicking. The shrouded housing protects contacts from dust and debris after mating, reducing the risk of shorts or contamination. Additionally, the locking mechanism produces an audible click upon proper mating, providing tactile feedback for secure connections.

This series is ideal for compact electronic devices such as mobile phones, developer chip sets, LCD displays, notebook PCs, and keyboard assemblies, requiring high density and reliable electrical connections.

Compact 0.4 mm pitch with 12 contacts in 2 rows supports high-density PCB layout. Liquid crystal polymer housing for thermal stability and durability. Gold-plated copper alloy contacts assure reliable electrical performance.
