DF38A-30S-0.3V(51) from Hirose Electric Co Ltd is a fine-pitch rectangular receptacle connector designed for compact board-to-cable or wire interconnect applications where space savings and assembly reliability matter. With a 30-position, single-row, 0.30 mm pitch format, SMT mounting, friction lock retention, and pick-and-place support, it fits high-density portable electronics, compact industrial modules, consumer devices, and other miniaturized assemblies. The LCP halogen-free housing, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and operating range of -35°C to 85°C make it suitable for controlled commercial and light industrial environments. This part is listed as Active in the provided specifications, which is positive for ongoing design use, although lifecycle verification should still be confirmed through the manufacturer or latest authorized channel data. RoHS compliance information is not explicitly provided in the supplied specifications, so engineers should treat compliance status as information not available pending official datasheet, manufacturer declaration, or distributor compliance documentation.
