The Hirose DF1-8S-2.5R28(05) is an 8-position IDC socket from the DF1 series, terminated to discrete 28 AWG wire via insulation displacement — no crimp tool, no loose terminals. The 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch is standard for the DF1 family, and the brown housing signals a specific keying or color-code variant within the series.
Key Specs and Termination
Eight positions in a single row, tin-plated female socket contacts, rated for 28 AWG discrete wire only — no ribbon cable. The IDC termination pierces the insulation on insertion, making gas-tight connections without stripping or soldering. The feed-through feature in the housing allows daisy-chaining or pass-through wiring in harness assemblies. Bulk packaging suits low-to-medium volume production or repair stock.
This socket mates with a Hirose DF1 series pin header of the same 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch and 8 positions. The free-hanging socket locks onto the header's latch, providing positive retention in moderate-vibration environments. No official cross-reference from other manufacturers is on record; the DF1 series is proprietary to Hirose.
