DF36A-25S-0.4V(52) from Hirose Electric Co Ltd is a rectangular connector in the headers, receptacles, and female sockets category, typically considered for compact board-to-board or signal interconnect designs where space efficiency and reliable mating are important. Engineers may evaluate parts in this family for portable electronics, industrial control modules, embedded systems, and other high-density assemblies that require consistent connector performance in constrained layouts. As a Hirose component, it is positioned toward applications that prioritize miniaturization, connector reliability, and established supplier support. The current lifecycle status for this exact part is information not available, so design teams should confirm whether it is active, NRND, or obsolete before locking it into new programs. RoHS compliance information is also not available in the provided data. Procurement and compliance teams should verify the latest environmental status, declaration documents, and official datasheet details directly with Hirose or authorized distribution before production release.
