13-Position 4-Row Plug Housing for Wire-to-Board Harnesses
The Hirose DF62B-13EP-2.2C(10) is a 13-position plug housing from the DF62 series, designed for wire-to-board interconnect applications. It uses a 2.20 mm pitch across 4 rows, with a row spacing of 2.00 mm, giving you a compact but organized pin field for routing multiple signal or low-power lines into a single connector. This is a crimp-style housing, meaning you terminate wires with the matching male crimp pins and insert them into the cavities.
Pitch and Row Layout — What Fits the Footprint
The 2.20 mm pitch is tighter than the common 2.54 mm (0.100") standard, so the mating header footprint takes up less board space per circuit. The 4-row arrangement with 2.00 mm row spacing means the 13 positions are distributed across the rows — typically 4-3-3-3 or a similar staggered pattern depending on the header layout. When you lay out the PCB, the header footprint must match this exact row count and spacing; a 2-row or 3-row header from the same series won't align.
Latch Holder Retention — Vibration Resistance Without Hardware
The latch holder fastening type means the plug locks onto the mating header with an integrated plastic latch. This is a field-friendly design — you hear the click when fully seated, and the latch releases with a squeeze for service access.
