The Hirose DF11-14DS-2R26(05) is a 14-position, 2-row IDC receptacle from the DF11 series, pitched at 0.079" (2.00mm). It's a free-hanging (in-line) connector meant for mass-termination to discrete 26 AWG wire — no crimping, just a one-shot IDC press. The closed-end housing keeps debris out of the back, and the tin-plated female sockets handle the signal side of a wire-to-board interconnect.
Sourcing Reality — Last Buy Status
Hirose has marked the DF11-14DS-2R26(05) as Last Buy. That means the factory has stopped regular production and is taking final orders before the part disappears from the channel. If you have this on a BOM, now is the time to secure lifetime buys or evaluate a drop-in alternative.
Tin contacts are fine for a few mating cycles — think internal harness that gets connected once and stays — but if your application needs frequent disconnect/reconnect, you'd want the gold-plated variant of this receptacle. The IDC termination is fast on the assembly line: strip the ribbon or discrete wires, align them in the slot, and press. No loose terminals to handle.
Mating and Termination Check
This receptacle mates with any DF11 series pin header in the same 14-position, 2-row layout — straight or right-angle, through-hole or SMT. The IDC termination accepts 26 AWG discrete wire; the closed end means you feed the wires in from one side only, and the insulation is pierced as the cap is pressed home. No secondary retention features here — the IDC barbs hold the wire in tension.
