DF3-5S-2C from Hirose Electric Co Ltd is a 5-position rectangular receptacle housing in the DF3 series, designed for crimp termination in free-hanging wire-to-wire or wire-to-board interconnect assemblies. With a 2.00 mm pitch, female socket format, and operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, it fits compact industrial, control, consumer, and embedded equipment where reliable signal connection and harness flexibility are important. Because contacts are not included, engineers can configure the assembly around application-specific wire and terminal requirements. As a connector housing in a long-established interconnect family, it is typically relevant for maintenance builds, cable harness production, and new designs that need a known Hirose footprint. Lifecycle status is currently listed as unknown, so design teams should confirm ongoing manufacturer support before committing to long-term programs. RoHS compliance information is not available in the provided data, and engineers should verify current compliance and material declarations directly with Hirose documentation or authorized supply sources.
