Hirose has expanded its SignalBee connector platform to include an even smaller wire-to-board version. With a height of 1.45 mm and a depth of 3.55 mm, the new DF53 Series connector is the industry’s smallest 0.6 mm crimp connector available on the market. Supporting up to 1.3 A max when using two positions for power, the DF53 Series is commonly used to bring power to wearable battery connections.

With a unique lance design, the highly reliable DF53 Series combines a miniature footprint with high lance strength to prevent cable disconnect during wiring. A double lock design, friction, and contact, ensure high retention force. The DF53 Series single-row connector utilizes a box-shaped contact design that ensures contact stability from above and below. The box-shaped contact on the cable side also prevents deformation when handling the cable assembly. Available in a 14-position version, the DF53 Series single-row crimp connector allows mating conditions to be checked.

“The DF53 Series continues the SignalBee connector legacy of combining compact size and high signal performance with high contact reliability and durability. The low-profile DF53 Series connector enables OEMs to reduce the size of end devices,” said Pete Lais, Assistant Vice President of Product Management for Hirose Electric Americas.
