Wire-to-wire connector has unique plug/socket shapes

Utilising a highly reliable two-point contact design, the DF62 series delivers ruggedised connectivity that is resistant to shock and vibration. The connectors combine a slim, low profile with rugged performance and an advanced lock protection system. With a locking strength of 50N, the simple and secure lock structure gives the user two indicators that the lock is complete; a tactile click and a visual confirmation of the socket lock through the plug window.

In addition to the standard version, the expanded DF62 series now includes a protected or guarded socket version that prevents accidental pressing of the latch and unmating during wiring (DF62C), and a panel mount plug version (DF62P).

The absence of exposed metal on the connector eliminates the possibility of short circuits between the connector and other conductive parts, or when inside metal conduits. The small size and high durability of the DF62 series connector makes it an ideal choice for servo amp, LED lighting, robotic machinery, consumer appliance, portable medical devices and office equipment/machine applications.

Eliminating contact buckling, the in-line connectors feature box-shaped female contacts that work as a mating guide for male contacts. Reinforced lances prevent deformation caused by cable pulling and increase the connection strength, even within the small profile of the connector body. The lance strength of a properly secured connection is rated at 25N per pin.

The DF62 series features a current rating of up to 3A, a voltage rating of 250V AC/DC and is Halogen-free as defined by IEC61249-2-21. Contact resistance for this series is a maximum of 30mΩ, and the durability guarantee is assured for up to 30 full insertion/withdrawal cycles. Pin counts are available in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 13 and now 24 positions. The series has an operating temperature range from -35 to +105°C.
