It carries a 0.079" (2.00 mm) pitch in two rows, with the same 0.079" (2.00 mm) row spacing, giving it a dense but serviceable footprint for harness assemblies.
Panel Mount, Snap-In — No PCB Required
This is a panel-mount, snap-in housing, not a board-mounted header. It clips into a panel cutout and terminates to discrete wires via crimp contacts, which are ordered separately (see note below). The snap-in retention keeps the housing fixed during mating and unmating, useful when the harness needs a fixed panel-side receptacle rather than a free-hanging plug. The crimp termination means each wire is individually inserted and locked — field-replaceable without desoldering.
Contacts Not Included — What Fits
You need the matching male crimp terminals from the DF11 series — typically the DF11-SC or DF11-PC family of contacts, depending on wire gauge. The housing accepts male pin contacts for the plug side; the mating receptacle housing uses female socket contacts.
16 vs 18 Positions — Same Footprint, One More Circuit
The DF11-18DEP-2C is the 18-position sibling in the same DF11 series, sharing the 0.079" (2.00 mm) pitch, dual-row layout, panel-mount snap-in body, black polyamide material, and -30°C to 85°C rating. No other spec changes between the two.
