The Hirose DF56-30P-0.3SD(51) is a 30-position plug from the DF56 series, designed for terminating ultra-fine ribbon cable. The 0.30mm pitch and single-row layout make it one of the densest free-hanging connectors in its class — it fits where a standard 0.5mm-pitch FFC connector would be too wide for the board edge.
This plug accepts 42-46 AWG ribbon cable — that is exceptionally fine wire, typical of micro-coax bundles in compact camera modules or medical imaging probes. The solder termination means each conductor is hand-soldered or reflowed to the contact tail; there is no crimp option in this series. The 0.30mm pitch leaves about 0.3mm between adjacent solder pads, so a fine-tip iron and magnification are standard practice for assembly.
The tape and reel packaging option (Cut Tape also available) suits automated pick-and-place for the solder tails if you are panelizing the cable assembly.
