It uses a push-pull fastening system for quick mate/unmate without tools — the locking collar clicks into place and releases with a straight pull. The shell is zinc alloy with nickel finish, and the insert is polyamide (PA) nylon rated UL94 V-0. ## Silver-Plated Contacts and Solder Cup Termination Each of the 12 male pins uses brass contacts with a silver mating finish, plated to 78.7 µin (2.00 µm). Silver gives low contact resistance for signal circuits but tarnishes over time in sulphurous environments — this connector is best suited for clean, indoor, climate-controlled gear. The solder cup termination accepts stripped wire ends directly; no crimp tool needed, but each joint must be hand-soldered. The integrated backshell, cable clamp, and strain relief (listed features) secure the cable entry and prevent pull-out at the termination point. ## 2 A Signal-Level Rating and Voltage Limits The voltage rating is 100 VAC or 140 VDC, which covers most low-voltage control and sensor circuits. ## Position-Count and Plating Alternatives in the Same Shell Within the same HR10A-10 shell, the 10-position sibling HR10A-10P-10P(73) uses the same silver-plated contacts and ratings but with two fewer circuits — a direct choice when the BOM calls for 10 positions instead of 12. For applications needing higher mating cycle life, the HR10A-10P-12P(74) is the gold-plated variant (8.00 µin gold over nickel) at the same 12-position count; gold resists corrosion better through repeated connect/disconnect cycles, while silver gives a lower-cost option for permanent or infrequent mating. ## Active Lifecycle and Compliance","metaTitle":"Hirose HR10A-10P-12P(73) 12-Pin Male Plug, 2A, Push-Pull","metaDescription":"Hirose HR10A-10P-12P(73) 12-position male plug, 2A per contact, 100VAC/140VDC, silver-plated contacts, solder cup termination, push-pull locking, active","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"HR10A","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Circular Connectors","Circular Cable Assemblies"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Hirose Electric Co Ltd","Color":"Silver","Series":"HR10A","Package":"Bulk","Features":"Backshell, Clamp, Strain Relief","Shielding":"Unshielded","Orientation":"Keyed","Termination":"Solder Cup","Applications":"-","Shell Finish":"Nickel","Cable Opening":"-","Mounting Type":"Free Hanging (In-Line)","Connector Type":"Plug, Male Pins","Fastening Type":"Push-Pull","Product Status":"Active","Shell Material":"Zinc Alloy","Voltage Rating":"100VAC, 140VDC","Insert Material":"Polyamide (PA), Nylon","Shell Size, MIL":"-","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Brass","Mounting Feature":"-","Primary Material":"Metal","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"HR10","Number of Positions":"12","Shell Size - Insert":"10","Current Rating (Amps)":"2A","Operating Temperature":"-25°C ~ 85°C","Contact Finish - Mating":"Silver","Backshell Material, Plating":"Brass, Nickel","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Contact Finish Thickness - Mating":"78.7µin (2.00µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$19.2500","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$19.25000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$16.85300","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$16.12480","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$15.60440","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$15.08440","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$14.25212","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$13.83600","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/ec395f8f5602ba715c2b7b174c812d67.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/HR10A-10P-12P(73)/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the mating connector for the HR10A-10P-12P(73)?","answer":"The mating half is a 12-position female socket with the same HR10A-10 shell size and push-pull fastening — the HR10A-10P-12S(73) is the silver-plated female counterpart.
