DF3-EP2428PCF from Hirose Electric Co Ltd is a crimp pin contact in the DF3 rectangular connector family, intended for 24–28 AWG wire termination in compact wire-to-board interconnect designs. As part of the Connectors, Interconnects > Rectangular Connectors category, it is suited for control assemblies, consumer electronics, industrial equipment, instrumentation, and other applications where dependable signal or low-power wiring is required. Engineers typically choose Hirose connector contacts for ecosystem compatibility, established connector series support, and efficient high-volume assembly using tape-and-reel or cut tape packaging. The listed lifecycle status is unknown, so design teams should confirm current production status directly with the manufacturer or authorized channel before committing to new builds. RoHS compliance information is not explicitly provided in the supplied specifications, so compliance should be treated as information not available pending official datasheet or manufacturer documentation. For procurement-sensitive programs, verifying authenticity, environmental documentation, and long-term availability is recommended.
