Low-profile wire-to-board power connectors are rated for currents up to 65 A

March 25, 2019 By Mary Gannon Leave a Comment

Hirose has expanded the current carrying capacity of it EnerBee power connector family. The DF60 series wire-to-board connector now supports applications requiring current ratings up to 65 A. Featuring a compact space-saving design, the DF60 series has a pitch of only 10.16 mm. It is available in straight, right angle and in-line configurations, as well as a finger-safe electric shock prevention type (DF60F). Keying variations are also offered in black, red and gray.

The unique locking mechanism is contained within the connector header. The socket and header design avoids short circuit between adjacent contact.

The DF60 series connectors accept AWG #8 to #12 cables, and are RoHS compliant with UL and TUV pending.

“The EnerBee connector family incorporates high contact reliability mechanisms for industrial power applications, as well as cutting-edge technology for high performance and functionality. To meet market demands, Hirose expanded the DF60 series to offer a higher current carrying capacity and finger-safe electric shock prevention,” said Bill Kysiak, Product Marketing Manager for Hirose Electric USA. “Hirose continues to expand our already broad power connector portfolio for demanding environments.”

The DF60 and DF60F are commonly used in automotive, industrial, medical, power conditioning, robotic and telecom applications.

The DF60 Series wire-to-board power connector has a rated voltage of 1000 Vac/dc and an operating temperature of –55° to 105° C.
