Waterproof connector HRS DF63W-4S-3.96C slim design with pre-installed seals and secure positive lock structure
Product Overview
The DF63W Series are 3.96mm pitch compact waterproof connectors designed for internal power supplies. Their slim, smooth, and rounded external shape is optimized for wiring through narrow areas such as conduits and small spaces. These connectors offer IP67 water resistance when mated, simplified wire insertion with pre-installed seals, and a positive lock structure for secure mating. They are compatible with a wide variety of cables and feature mis-mating prevention options through color and guide keys.
