Hirose EnerBee DF63 Female Connector Housing 3 mm Pitch 2 Way 1 Row Straight

The Hirose DF63-2S-3.96C female connector housing is a compact and durable wire-to-board electrical connector designed for secure internal power connections. With a 3 mm pitch, 2 contact ways, and single-row configuration, this housing supports high current loads up to 15 A when paired with 16 AWG wire. It is part of the famed EnerBee DF63 series, which delivers superior performance in a minimized footprint for space-critical electronic designs.

Featuring a positive locking mechanism, the DF63-2S-3.96C prevents accidental unmating caused by external shocks or drops. When mated, it produces a tactile click that signals full engagement, ensuring a reliable electrical and mechanical connection. The central positioning of the lock allows even locking and prevents cable entanglement, commonly seen with side-lock designs.

Moulded contact retention tabs are directly integrated into the housing rather than the terminals, providing cable management during assembly and reducing the risk of tangled wires or incomplete contact insertion. Color coding and keying features make the connector family easy to identify and match, minimizing assembly errors and mismating between positions.

Each contact is separated by internal walls, effectively isolating connections and minimizing the risk of short circuits. The housing material - Polybutylene Terephthalate - ensures chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and Glow Wire compliance for safety-critical applications. The EnerBee DF63 housing is 8.36 mm in length and 13.3 mm in width, supporting straight cable mounting for streamlined installations.

Typical uses include industrial machinery, robotics, medical devices, smart meters, gaming systems, and home appliances. Its reliability and high-power capability make it ideal for demanding applications requiring secure wire-to-board interface.

Engineers can confidently choose the Hirose DF63-2S-3.96C for projects requiring compact size, high current capability, positive locking, and strong safety features, suitable for both prototyping and production environments within industrial and commercial facilities.

Compact housing offers robust positive locking mechanism to prevent accidental unmating. High-power capability up to 15 A when used with suitable wiring. Moulded lance design prevents cable entanglement and incomplete contact insertion.

Keyed and color-coded features reduce mismating errors during assembly. Individually boxed contacts avoid short circuits and maintain safety. Glow Wire compliant, supporting enhanced reliability in demanding industries. Suitable for internal power supply applications and various industrial equipment.
