The silver-plated phosphor bronze contacts terminate via solder cup, and the integrated backshell, clamp, and strain relief simplify cable assembly while protecting the solder joints from pull-out forces. Typical applications include sensor interfaces, test equipment, and instrumentation cabling where a compact, push-pull circular connector is needed. ## What the 2 A Rating and Silver Plating Mean for the Circuit The 2 A per-contact rating limits this connector to signal-level loads and low-current control circuits. The silver mating finish is 78.7 µin thick. ## 4 Positions vs 6 Positions — Which HR10A Jack Fits Your BOM? The HR10A-7J-4S(73) carries 4 positions, while the sibling HR10A-7J-6S(73) carries 6 positions — both in the same shell size 7, same push-pull coupling, same 2 A rating. The 4-position variant is the right choice when the circuit count matches exactly; the 6-position version adds two extra contacts for additional signal lines or a spare pair. Both use silver-plated contacts and solder cup termination, so the cable assembly process is identical. The voltage rating differs: the 4-position is rated 150 VAC / 200 VDC, while the 6-position is rated 100 VAC / 140 VDC — the extra contacts reduce the creepage distance between adjacent circuits.","metaTitle":"Hirose HR10A-7J-4S(73) 4-Position Circular Jack, 2 A","metaDescription":"Hirose HR10A-7J-4S(73) jack, female sockets, 4 positions, shell size 7, solder cup termination, push-pull, 2 A, 150 VAC/200 VDC.","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":"Jack, Female Sockets","Fastening Type":"Push-Pull","Product Status":"Active","Shell Material":"Zinc Alloy","Voltage Rating":"150VAC, 200VDC","Insert Material":"Polyamide (PA), Nylon","Shell Size, MIL":"-","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Phosphor Bronze","Mounting Feature":"-","Primary Material":"Metal","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"HR10","Number of Positions":"4","Shell Size - Insert":"7","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":"$14.1300","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$14.13000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$12.52600","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$12.04440","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$11.56240","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$10.92010","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$9.95656","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$9.31422","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$8.54339","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/ec395f8f5602ba715c2b7b174c812d67.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/HR10A-7J-4S(73)/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the difference between HR10A-7J-4S(73) and HR10A-7P-4S?","answer":"The HR10A-7J-4S(73) is a jack (female sockets) with a free-hanging, in-line mounting style.
