DF50 1mm pitch, board-to-wire connector reportedly reduces required printed circuit board mounting area. Features a locking mechanism designed to prevent uneven locking. Locking function and contact mating occur simultaneously. Has a lance structure with a cable pull force of 10N min. Is designed with blade type contacts attached to a thick housing wall said to be resistant to cracking or deformation. Nickel barrier plating prevents solder wicking. Comes in straight and right angle versions; available in a single-row with 2 to 16 positions or as a double-row with 30 positions. Has a current rating of 1A per pin, a voltage rating of 100 VAC / DC, contact resistance of 50 mO max. at 20mV (1mA) and an operating temperature range of -35° to 85°C. For LCD, LCD TVs, PDP, wireless LANs, office equipment, notebook PCs/laptop computers, industrial control units, automotive audio and navigation systems, medical devices, commercial gaming equipment and consumer hobby applications.
