The Hirose DF62B-7EP-2.2C(10) is a 7-position plug housing from the DF62 series, built on a 2.20mm pitch with three rows. This connector type is commonly used in wire-to-board or wire-to-wire harnesses where a compact, multi-row interconnect is needed, typical in industrial equipment, automotive interiors, and consumer electronics where vibration resistance from the latch is an advantage.
What the 7 Positions and 2.20mm Pitch Mean for Your Harness
The 7 circuits in a 3-row arrangement at 2.20mm pitch give you a moderate-density interconnect — enough for a small sensor harness or a multi-conductor power/signal bundle without forcing a wide connector footprint. The 0.087" pitch is a standard spacing that matches the DF62 series crimp terminals and receptacle housings. The three rows mean the connector body is taller than a single-row equivalent, so plan the clearance in your enclosure or along the wire routing path. The latch holder provides a positive lock that resists accidental disconnection under vibration — a real advantage in mobile or engine-compartment applications.
When building your BOM, add the matching male pin contacts (Hirose part numbers in the DF62 terminal family) and the appropriate crimp tool. Without the contacts, the housing is just an empty shell — a common sourcing trap that trips up first-time buyers of this series.
