DF37NC-24DS-0.4V(53) from Hirose Electric Co Ltd is a fine-pitch rectangular board-to-board receptacle designed for compact electronic assemblies that need reliable mezzanine interconnect density in limited space. With a 0.40 mm pitch, 24 positions, dual-row layout, and SMT mounting format, it is well suited for portable devices, embedded control boards, display modules, compact industrial electronics, and other stacked PCB architectures. Engineers typically choose this series when low profile height, precise mating geometry, and established Hirose connector design are important to signal routing and mechanical packaging goals. Lifecycle status is currently listed as unknown, so design teams should verify ongoing production status directly with the manufacturer before committing to long-term programs. RoHS compliance information is not explicitly provided in the supplied data, so the compliance status should be treated as information not available pending confirmation from Hirose documentation or an authorized source. For procurement, traceability and supplier verification are especially important given the listed open-market counterfeit risk indicator.
