Hirose Straight Surface Mount PCB Header, 6 Contacts, 1.2 mm Pitch, Shrouded DF57

The Hirose DF57H-6P-1.2V(21) is a compact, straight surface mount PCB header featuring a 1.2 mm pitch and accommodating 6 male contacts in a single row. With an advanced shrouded, wire-to-board configuration, this connector is purpose-built for secure, high-density electronic board assemblies.

One of the standout design elements is its reinforced swing lock and innovative double locking system, which together provide superior cable retention and a highly secure mating connection. The swing lock ensures both friction and positive mechanical engagement with a tactile click when fully locked. This double security arrangement minimizes the risk of accidental disconnection in vibration-prone or space-constrained environments.

The shrouded housing is constructed from robust liquid crystal polymer, providing high heat resistance and excellent solder wicking prevention. The arrangement of molded lances and metal fittings within the housing delivers extra mechanical integrity, ensuring the housing remains firmly fixed to the terminals and enhancing surface mount reliability - even when subjected to intricate cable routing or mechanical stress.

The DF57H-6P-1.2V(21) is designed for convenience in automated assembly processes, supporting solder surface mounting with reliable tin-plated brass contacts for optimal conductivity and durability. It sustains electrical operation at a maximum current rating of 2 A with a voltage threshold of up to 50 V. The header supports operation in demanding temperature conditions, between -35°C and 85°C, making it suitable for a broad spectrum of electronic manufacturing uses.

Practical applications include LED lighting drivers, digital still and video cameras, industrial electronics, notebook PCs, and tablet computers. Its compact size and low profile (mating height of only 1.4 mm) make it especially beneficial for designs that require minimal vertical clearance and high connection density.

Engineered with quality and versatility, the Hirose DF57H-6P-1.2V(21) meets the rigorous requirements of the electronics assembly sector, providing secure, efficient, and durable board-to-cable interconnections in both commercial and industrial equipment.
