A 10-Position IDC Socket from the DF1 Series — Last Buy Notice
The Hirose DF1-10S-2.5R24(05) is a 10-position, single-row IDC socket from the DF1 series, terminated to discrete 24 AWG wire. The tin-plated female socket contacts are suited for moderate-cycle applications where gold is not required. The brown housing carries a feed-through feature, allowing pass-through wiring in a harness.
Why the Last Buy Status Matters for Your BOM
The DF1-10S-2.5R24(05) carries a Last Buy lifecycle status. This means Hirose has scheduled the end of production — the window to place final orders is closing. If this part is on your active BOM, the procurement decision is time-sensitive: secure last-time-buy quantities now, or plan a qualification to an alternative before stock dries up.
IDC Termination and Wire Fit
The 24 AWG wire gauge is specified for this variant; the slot geometry is sized to that diameter, so using a different gauge risks an unreliable connection. The feed-through feature allows wires to pass through the housing, useful for daisy-chain wiring in a harness.
Mating Half and Pitch Compatibility
This socket mates with a 2.50mm-pitch DF1 series pin header. The 10-position count and single-row layout must match the header's position count exactly — a 12-position header will not fit. The 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch is consistent across the DF1 line, so any DF1 header at the same position count is a candidate, but confirm the header's mounting style (through-hole vs SMT) and orientation for your board layout.
