    Hirose Boosts Current Capacity of Low-Profile WTB Connector

    03/22/2019
    Part of the EnerBee power connector family, the DF60 Series offers rugged and reliable connectivity up to 65A for internal power supplies used in a wide range of applications

    DOWNERS GROVE, ILLINOIS — 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 65A. Featuring a compact space-saving design, the DF60 Series power connector has a pitch of only 10.16 mm. The DF60 Series 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.

    Providing secure mating with a clear tactile click, the DF60 Series utilizes a highly reliable 5-point contact with independent contact springs to ensure reliable and secure connectivity in harsh environments. 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 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 1000V AC/DC and an operating temperature of -55 degrees C to +105 degrees C.
