Slim waterproof connector HRS DF63WA-4EP-3.96C designed for narrow wiring spaces and IP67 protection
Product Overview
The DF63W Series is a 3.96mm pitch compact waterproof connector designed for internal power supplies. Its slim, smooth, and rounded external shape is optimized for wiring through narrow areas like conduits and small structures, preventing snagging. The connector offers IP67 water resistance when mated and features simplified wire insertion with pre-installed seals. A positive lock structure ensures secure mating, and mis-mating is prevented through color and guide key options. Available in two versions with different waterproof wire seal diameters, it is compatible with a wide variety of cables.
