DF37NC-44DS-0.4V(53) from Hirose Electric Co Ltd is a fine-pitch rectangular mezzanine connector designed for compact board-to-board interconnection in space-constrained electronics. As part of the DF37 series, it suits applications such as portable devices, industrial control modules, embedded computing boards, and other high-density assemblies that require reliable signal routing with low-profile stacking. Engineers typically choose this style of connector for its 0.40 mm pitch, 44-position layout, surface-mount compatibility, and gold-finished contacts for dependable mating performance in miniature designs. Based on the provided specifications, the product status is Active, which is a positive indicator for ongoing design use, although lifecycle planning should still be validated through current manufacturer documentation. RoHS compliance information is not explicitly provided in the input data, so compliance status should be treated as information not available until confirmed through the official datasheet, declaration, or manufacturer compliance statement.
