DF37NC-24DS-0.4V(51) from Hirose Electric Co Ltd is a fine-pitch rectangular board-to-board receptacle designed for compact electronic assemblies where space, profile, and interconnect reliability matter. With a 0.40 mm pitch, 24 positions, dual-row layout, SMT mounting, and a low mated stacking height around 0.98 mm, it fits dense portable, industrial, and embedded designs that require slim board stacking. Engineers typically consider this style of connector for handheld devices, control modules, display boards, compact communication equipment, and other miniaturized PCB interconnect applications. The listed product status is Active, which supports its use in ongoing production, although the broader lifecycle status is marked as unknown and should be confirmed through current manufacturer documentation. RoHS compliance information is not explicitly provided in the supplied specifications, so compliance should be treated as information not available pending official confirmation. For procurement teams, balanced supply-demand data and tape-and-reel packaging suggest suitability for volume SMT assembly planning.
