DF38A-40S-0.3V(51) from Hirose Electric Co Ltd is a fine-pitch rectangular receptacle connector designed for compact board-level interconnects where space savings and reliable signal mating are critical. As a 40-position surface-mount connector in the DF38 family, it is well suited for portable electronics, display modules, industrial control assemblies, embedded devices, and other dense PCB designs that need stable, high-density connections. Its tape-and-reel packaging supports automated assembly, making it a practical choice for volume production. From a sourcing perspective, this part shows limited supply status and an estimated 25-week production lead time, so engineers and buyers should plan procurement early for ongoing builds. Lifecycle status is currently unknown based on the provided data, which increases the importance of monitoring availability for long-term programs. RoHS compliance information is not explicitly provided in the supplied specifications, so compliance should be confirmed through the official manufacturer datasheet or declaration before release to regulated markets.
