The horizontal-mating connector features a snap-in mating structure that provides a positive lock strength of 16N, as well as an audible click and tactile snap to indicate secure mating. Three points of contact enable optimum contact reliability by stabilising contact resistance.
RoHS-compliant and UL-recognised, the DF59M series is suitable for applications including LED lighting, tablet PCs, small size batteries, printers and multi-functional copier office machines.
Rick van Weezel, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Hirose Electric USA, commented: “The low-profile DF59M series provides significant advantages over competing products including smaller size, higher power rating and stronger locking mechanism. This connector is suitable for use in applications with space constraints, such as linear LED and COB type products used in confined spaces.”
