The Hirose DF62C-13S-2.2C(11) is a 13-position socket housing from the DF62 series of compact wire-to-board connectors. It uses a 2.20 mm pitch and arranges its contacts across 4 rows — an unusual layout for this position count, meaning the 13 circuits are staggered rather than laid out in a simple rectangular grid.
The housing ships empty. For a complete mated pair, pair this with the corresponding DF62 series pin header (male side). Don't order half a connection — make sure the crimp terminals are on the same BOM line.
Mating connector and keying
This socket housing mates with the DF62 series pin header (male) of the same position count and pitch. The 4-row layout means the header side also uses 4 rows — verify the header's row count matches before specifying. Keying features in the DF62 series prevent mismating between different position sizes, so a 13-position plug will not accidentally mate with a 12-position header.
How the DF62C-13S-2.2C(11) compares to the DF62B-13S-2.2C(11)
The DF62B-13S-2.2C(11) is the closest functional peer — same 13 positions, same 2.20 mm pitch, same 4-row layout, same latch lock, same free-hanging crimp termination. Both are active and ROHS3 compliant. The difference is in the series suffix: the C-variant (this part) and the B-variant are both current-production members of the DF62 family. If you have the B-variant on your BOM and it's unavailable, the C-variant is a direct drop-in for the housing. The same crimp terminals and mating headers work with both.
