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

Hirose DF40 Series PCB Header model DF40C-12DP-0.4V(58) is a straight orientation, surface mount connector featuring 12 male contacts arranged in 2 rows with a pitch of 0.4 mm.

This shrouded connector series employs Liquid Crystal Polymer for the housing, providing high durability and resistance to environmental stress. Contacts are made of copper alloy plated in gold to ensure stable and corrosion-resistant electrical performance.

The connector supports low current operation up to 300 mA and a maximum voltage of 30 V, making it suitable for various electronic applications requiring compact and reliable connections. Operating temperature range spans from -35°C to 85°C, allowing it to function in diverse environments.

The design incorporates nickel-plated barriers to prevent solder wicking, enhancing manufacturing reliability. Its locking mechanism provides tactile feedback, ensuring secure and positive connector mating. Guide ribs allow self-alignment with an accuracy of 0.33 mm, which simplifies assembly. A reinforced structure with shock absorbing ribs offers protection against mechanical stress from vibration or impact.

Applications include miniature electronic devices such as mobile phones, developer chip sets, LCD displays, notebook PCs, and keyboards where high density and low profile board-to-board and board-to-FPC connections are essential.

High density, low profile design suitable for compact assemblies. Shrouded housing protects contacts from dust and debris, preventing shorts. Gold plated copper alloy contact material for excellent conductivity and durability.

Locking mechanism with audible tactile click ensures reliable mating. Reinforced structure with shock absorbing ribs resists mechanical damage. Explore more PCB Connectors and other Hirose products available at EnvMart for your electronics manufacturing needs.
