Both ends terminate in male pins, making it a gender-changer or inline extension for a DF3 plug-to-receptacle pair. The single-row layout and 15 positions suit harness breakouts or bulkhead pass-throughs where you need to extend a DF3 cable assembly through an enclosure wall. ## Last Buy Status — What It Means for Procurement The DF3-15EP-2A carries a Last Buy lifecycle status. That means Hirose has scheduled end-of-production, and the remaining channel stock is the final availability. Once those units sell through, the part will not be manufactured again. For a BOM line that still needs this exact adapter, the window to commit is closing — order quantities should cover the remaining production run or service spares. If a pin-compatible replacement is required, it would need to be sourced from surplus or broker inventory after the Last Buy window closes. Both ends of the DF3-15EP-2A are plug, male pins — it mates with a DF3-series receptacle housing on either side. The panel-mount snap-in clips hold it in place through the cutout, and the male pins accept the receptacle's crimp terminals. ## Sourcing This Part Given the Last Buy status, the RFQ should specify the total quantity needed to cover the full production run or service life, as replenishment after sell-through will require surplus or broker channels.","metaTitle":"Hirose DF3-15EP-2A, 15-Position Plug Adapter, 2.00mm Pitch","metaDescription":"Hirose DF3-15EP-2A is a 15-position plug-to-plug adapter with 2.00mm pitch, panel mount snap-in.
