About Rectangular Connector Contacts

Rectangular connector contacts form the core electrical interface in industrial interconnects, transferring signals and power between mating connectors. Socket contacts like the DF22A-1416SC ensure secure female connections that maintain circuit integrity under vibration and thermal stress. Precision crimping allows rapid field servicing while minimizing failure points.

These contacts are engineered to specific wire gauges and current ratings, with finishes like tin or gold selected for environmental resistance. Proper contact selection directly impacts system reliability—underscoring why OEMs specify Hirose components for high-vibration and high-temperature applications including robotics, renewable energy systems, and transportation controls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this part still usable despite being obsolete?
A: Absolutely. Obsolete status means the manufacturer no longer produces it, but PCX maintains stock for legacy system maintenance and repairs.

Q: What crimping tool is recommended for 14-16AWG contacts?
A: Hirose recommends ratcheting crimpers meeting IEC 60352-2 standards. Contact PCX support for tooling suggestions.

Q: Can I use this socket with non-DF22 series housings?
A: No—this contact is engineered exclusively for Hirose DF22 series connectors to ensure proper retention and alignment.

Q: Does tin plating require special environmental considerations?
A: Tin offers excellent corrosion resistance for most environments but isn’t recommended for constant high-humidity (>85% RH) without additional protection.

Q: Are sample quantities available?
A: Yes—PCX provides sample kits for engineering validation, including datasheets and application notes.

Q: What’s the lead time for bulk orders?
A: Most orders ship same-day. For quantities above 5,000 units, contact PCX for expedited fulfillment options.
