6-Position Panel-Mount Receptacle for Signal and Low-Power Circuits
The Hirose HR10A-7R-6SB(73) is a 6-position circular receptacle from the HR10A series, designed for panel-mount applications where a compact, keyed push-pull interconnect is needed. It carries 6 female sockets in a shell size 7 housing, terminated via solder cups to the rear of the panel. The connector is rated 2 A per contact at 100 VAC or 140 VDC, with an operating range of -25°C to 85°C — suited for instrumentation, test equipment, and industrial control panels where the environment stays within a conditioned or sheltered enclosure.
Shell Size 7 with Bulkhead Mounting and Keyed Orientation
The shell size 7 defines the panel cutout diameter and the mating interface. The keyed orientation prevents rotational misalignment during mating.
Silver-Plated Contacts — 2 A per Circuit, 78.7 µin Thickness
Silver gives lower contact resistance than tin and handles moderate mating cycles — the 2 A per-contact rating is conservative for signal-level circuits and will carry small relay or indicator loads without issue. The solder termination requires hand or wave soldering to the wire or PCB pad; there is no crimp option in this shell size.
Mating Plug: HR10A-7R-6PB(73)
The mating half for this receptacle is the HR10A-7R-6PB(73), a 6-position plug with male pins in the same shell size 7. It shares the same keyed orientation, push-pull fastening, and silver-plated contacts. The two parts lock with a push-pull mechanism — push to mate, pull on the cable to release. No secondary latch or locking ring; the friction of the shell and the keying keep the pair together in low-vibration installations.
The product status is Active and ROHS3 compliant.
