About Rectangular Connector Housings

Rectangular connector housings provide physical organization and insulation for electrical contacts in board-to-wire and wire-to-wire configurations. As the structural backbone of interconnect systems, they protect against short circuits, mechanical stress, and environmental contaminants while ensuring precise alignment of contacts.

The DF3 series represents the evolution of micro-miniature rectangular connectors, enabling high-density wiring in modern electronics where space optimization is critical. These housings support diverse applications from factory automation to portable devices, with standardized footprints simplifying design integration and supply chain management.

Packaging

This Hirose connector housing is supplied in protective bulk bags. Custom reel packaging options may be available for volume orders – contact PCX for details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are contacts included with this housing?
A: No, the DF3-4S-2C is a housing-only product. Compatible crimp contacts must be ordered separately.

Q: What wire gauge does this housing support?
A: Designed for 28-24 AWG wires when used with Hirose DF3 series crimp contacts.

Q: Is this connector RoHS compliant?
A: Yes, all Hirose DF3 series components meet RoHS 3 directives.

Q: What mating connector pairs with this receptacle?
A: It mates with Hirose DF3 series plugs (e.g., DF3-2424SCF). Verify compatibility using the product datasheet.

Q: Can this withstand industrial washdown environments?
A: While the housing material resists common chemicals, it isn’t IP-rated. For wet environments, consider Hirose’s sealed connector variants.

Q: Why choose Hirose over generic connectors?
A: Hirose connectors offer superior insertion cycle life (≥30 mating cycles), precise manufacturing tolerances for consistent contact pressure, and globally validated quality control – critical for product longevity.
