Right angle and in-line versions are under development.</span></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"> </span>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;">The overall size of the DF60 series has been designed with space saving in mind, the plug and receptacle housing are low profile with a mated height of only 30mm. The footprint dimensions are minimised by the small pitch size of 10.16mm.</span></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"> </span>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;">The robust lock provides a positive tactile sensation and an audible click when mated. This confirms the connector is fully engaged guaranteeing complete electrical and mechanical connection. The lock is on the centre of the housing to avoid uneven locking and cable entanglement which is common with side locks. Furthermore multiple connectors can be mounted closer together side by side.</span></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"> </span>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;">The plug utilises crimp contacts that have a unique 5-point contact internal structure. Two of the contact points are fixed in the upper section. The other three are in the lower section and are spring based allowing movement to follow the flat structure of the male contact during the mating operation. This provides high contact reliability, secure connection and strong resistance against vibration.</span></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"> </span>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;">Keying variations are available to prevent mis-insertion of multiple connectors.</span></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"> </span>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"> </span>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold;">Key Features</span></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"> </span>&nbsp;</p><ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;">1 - 4 contact positions</span></li><li><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;">40A max current rating</span></li><li><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;">Secure mating with clear tactile click</span></li><li><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;">Highly reliable 5-point contact</span></li><li><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;">Applicable cable size AWG8 to AWG12 </span></li><li><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;">Keying variations</span></li><li><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;">30 mating cycles</span></li></ul><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"> </span>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"> </span>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;">Ideal applications are robots, automotive, medical, servers, servo amplifiers and motors.</span></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"><span lang="en-GB" style="font-family:Arial;"> </span>&nbsp;</p> <div class="migration-injected-attachments"><div style="font-weight:bold;margin:15px 0 5px 0;">Attachments:</div><div></div><table style="border:0;"><tbody><tr><td width="160"><span class="_se_attachment" id="attid_https://www.element14.com/community/api/core/v3/attachments/101128"><a href="https://community.element14.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-34/DF60-Flyer.pdf">community.element14.com/.../DF60-Flyer.pdf</a></span></td><td><span style="font-size:80%;">DF60 Flyer.pdf</span></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: wire_to_board_connector, robust, power_supply_connector, high_current_connector</div>
