DF37C-10DP-0.4V(53) from Hirose Electric Co Ltd is a fine-pitch rectangular connector header designed for compact board-to-board interconnect applications where space, profile, and signal density matter. With a 0.40 mm pitch, 10 positions, dual-row layout, and SMT mounting, it fits well in portable electronics, industrial control modules, embedded systems, medical devices, and other densely packed PCB designs. Engineers typically choose this series when they need reliable mating performance in low-profile assemblies and consistent manufacturing compatibility with reel packaging for automated placement. Based on the provided specifications, the part status is listed as Active, which is favorable for ongoing design use, although broader lifecycle confirmation should still be verified with Hirose or the latest official documentation. RoHS compliance information is not explicitly provided in the supplied data, so compliance status should be treated as information not available until confirmed by manufacturer documentation, datasheet, or distributor compliance records.
