DF36 Series Plug for Micro-Coaxial and Fine-Wire Harnesses
The Hirose DF36-30P-0.4SD(51) is a 30-position plug from the DF36 series, designed for free-hanging (in-line) cable termination using 42-46 AWG discrete wire.
Termination and Wire Handling
Termination is by solder to the outer shroud contacts, with the cable entry accepting 42-46 AWG wire — extremely fine gauge that requires careful handling and a controlled soldering process. For high-volume builds, the Tape & Reel packaging feeds into automated placement and soldering lines, though the free-hanging form factor typically means hand or semi-automated assembly.
Position Count and Series Positioning
Within the DF36 series, this 30-position plug sits between the 40-position DF36-40P-0.4SD(51) and the 45-position DF36-45P-0.4SD(51) variants, all sharing the same 0.40 mm pitch, single-row layout, gold contacts, and latch holder. There is no current or voltage rating delta across the position variants in this series.
