The DF63W-1618SCF is a socket crimp contact supplied on a reel for automated assembly within the Hirose DF63W 3.96mm pitch connector series. This contact is made from a copper alloy with tin plating and is engineered to terminate 16 AWG and 18 AWG stranded copper wires. It accommodates various wire jacket diameters, including UL1007 (φ2.4mm) and UL1015 (φ3.2mm). As a component of the IP67-rated DF63W system, it is ideal for creating robust, waterproof connections in compact applications such as internal power supplies and other equipment where wiring must pass through narrow spaces.
