DF40C(2.0)-70DS-0.4V(51) from Hirose Electric Co Ltd is a surface-mount rectangular connector receptacle in the DF40 family, designed for compact board-to-board interconnect applications where high contact count and reliable mating performance are important. With 70 positions, gold contacts, and tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly, it is well suited for dense embedded hardware, portable electronics, industrial control modules, communication equipment, and other space-constrained designs. Engineers typically select parts in this category for stable signal routing, compact stacking architectures, and repeatable SMT processing. Based on the provided data, the supply and demand status is limited and the lifecycle status is currently unknown, so buyers should treat long-term availability as a planning consideration and confirm current manufacturer status before locking into new production designs. RoHS compliance information is not available in the provided specifications, so compliance should be verified directly through Hirose documentation or authorized distribution sources before release to regulated markets.
