The Hirose EnerBee DF22R-2P-7.92DS(05) is a 2-position, single-row board-to-wire header from the EnerBee DF22 series. It uses a 0.312" (7.92 mm) pitch, which gives generous creepage for the 1000 V rating, and carries male pin contacts with tin-copper plating rated 25 A per circuit. The right-angle through-hole termination places the mating face parallel to the PCB, suited for board-edge power connections where the cable exits along the board plane rather than standing above it.
Key features and deployment context
The header is fully shrouded on all four walls, protecting the contacts from accidental shorting and guiding the mating receptacle into alignment. A latch holder on the housing provides positive retention against vibration — the latch clicks when fully mated, giving tactile feedback during assembly. The polyamide housing carries a UL94 V-0 flammability rating, required for equipment installed inside an enclosure where flame spread must be contained. Operating temperature spans -35°C to 85°C, covering most indoor industrial and commercial environments.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The DF22R-2P-7.92DS(05) carries an Obsolete lifecycle status from Hirose. This means the manufacturer has ended production — there is no official successor order code on record. For a BOM line that requires this exact part, the supply route is the surplus and broker channel. We source and quote it to order against an RFQ; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time. If your design can accommodate a change, the EnerBee DF22 series includes other position counts at the same 7.92 mm pitch that may serve as a starting point for a revision — but there is no drop-in replacement from the manufacturer.
Mating and termination
This header mates with the matching EnerBee DF22 receptacle housing (sold separately) which accepts crimp terminals. The right-angle through-hole solder tails are 0.146" (3.70 mm) long, fitting standard PCB thicknesses. The board guide feature on the header helps align the connector during hand assembly or automated insertion.
