2 mm DF59 Series wire to board crimp socket housings with a compact space saving design and a low profile mating height of 2.48 mm. These DF59 crimp housings use a swing lock mechanism when mated which incorporates both positive and friction locks. A positive locking mechanism secures the housing to the header providing a tactile click when the lock is securely engaged. A complete electrical connection is then made by the friction lock mechanism which also produces a tactile click when fully engaged. This swing lock mechanism provides a secure connection and prevents accidental unmating caused by severe wiring and mechanical stress. The contacts for these DF59 series crimp housings must be purchased separately.

• Compact, space saving design
• Low profile mated height of 2.48 mm
• Swing lock mechanism incorporates positive and friction locks for secure connection
• High operating temperature of up to 105°C

These 2 mm DF59 Series Multi-Functional Connectors are ideal for use in LED lighting applications

Hirose DF59 Series

The Hirose DF59 series features a low profile design that minimises shadowing and a positive swing-lock engagement, which provides strong plug retention against cable pull. Additionally, the Hirose DF59 series offers a floating board-to-board connector which allows ± 0.5mm floating function in XYZ directions, reducing contact stress. With the Hirose DF59 series, multiple board-to-board connections are possible, minimizing the issue of thermal expansion and reducing component quantity. Applications include LED lighting, power supplies, battery connection and small DC motor drives.
