DF17(1.0H)-80DP-0.5V(57) from Hirose Electric Co Ltd is a connector housing solution used in compact electronic interconnect designs where reliable board-to-board or internal device connectivity is important. As part of Hirose’s established connector portfolio, this component is relevant for engineers building space-constrained assemblies in industrial, consumer, communications, and embedded hardware applications. Its value is typically found in supporting dense packaging, structured cable or board interface design, and repeatable assembly in production environments. For procurement teams and designers, the main consideration with this part is verification: the current lifecycle status is listed as unknown, so supply continuity should be confirmed before committing it into new designs or long-term service programs. RoHS compliance information is also not available in the provided data. Engineers should validate environmental compliance, material declarations, and latest lifecycle position directly from Hirose documentation or authorized channel partners before release to production.
