The Hirose RP34-8R-3PDL is a 3-position receptacle from the RP34 series, carrying male blade contacts inside a shrouded housing. It is designed for applications where a compact, low-circuit-count power or signal interconnect needs to be secured through a panel cutout while also soldering into a PCB. The 3-position count suits single-phase power inputs, sensor connections, or small control signal interfaces where three circuits are enough. This connector mounts two ways: it snaps into a panel of 0.032" to 0.063" thickness, and its through-hole right-angle pins solder into a PCB. That hybrid mounting lets the connector act as a panel-secured board-edge interface — the panel takes the cable strain, the PCB carries the circuit.
Last Buy — Sourcing Window Is Open
The RP34-8R-3PDL is in Last Buy status. That means Hirose has announced end-of-production, and the final purchase window is active. Once the last-buy period closes, this part will no longer be manufactured. Buyers with an existing BOM position should secure their lifetime or bridge quantity now, because the alternative after the cut-off is the surplus channel with no guarantee of consistent pricing or availability. No direct Hirose cross-reference exists for a pin-compatible alternative.
Mating Half and Termination Notes
Termination is solder for the through-hole pins. The panel thickness range of 0.032" to 0.063" covers standard sheet metal enclosures — the snap-in retention barbs engage the panel edge to hold the connector in place during soldering and mating.
