DF40C(2.0)-70DS-0.4V(58) from Hirose Electric Co Ltd is a fine-pitch rectangular mezzanine connector designed for compact board-to-board interconnection in space-constrained electronic assemblies. As part of the DF40 series, it is well suited for embedded systems, industrial controls, portable electronics, communication modules, and other high-density designs that require a 0.40 mm pitch and low-profile stacking. Engineers typically choose this type of connector when signal routing density, compact mechanical integration, and surface-mount assembly are key priorities. Based on the provided product data, this part is listed as Active, which generally supports ongoing design use, although buyers should still confirm latest manufacturer lifecycle status before volume commitment. RoHS compliance information is not explicitly provided in the input specifications, so compliance status should be treated as information not available pending confirmation from Hirose documentation or authorized distribution records. For regulated programs, engineers should verify RoHS and related material declarations before release to production.
