Cross‑Reference / Alternative
Direct footprint & performance-compatible replacement for Hirose DF40TC(2.0)-60DS-0.4V. Same PCB land pattern, mating interface, electrical & mechanical performance. Drop-in alternative for HRS stock shortage, cost reduction, multi-source supply strategy. No PCB layout modification required for substitution.

Product Feature
- Integrated guide ribs for blind mating and self-alignment, reduces assembly scrap from misalignment
- Anti-solder wicking barrier, prevents solder creep into contact zone during SMT reflow
- Reinforced insulator structure, shock and vibration resistance for compact stacked assemblies
- Fully shielded contact cavity, blocks dust and flux contamination
- Stable high-frequency characteristics, low crosstalk for high-speed signal transmission
- Clear tactile click feedback to confirm full mating




Product Advantages
✅ Drop-in replacement: Same footprint as HRS DF40TC series, zero layout rework
✅ Assembly-friendly: Self-alignment design tolerates placement offset, lower assembly failure rate
✅ Stable high-speed signal: Optimized contact geometry for high-speed differential signal
✅ SMT reel packaging: Directly compatible with automatic pick & place machines
✅ Multi-source risk mitigation: Avoid single supplier lead time & price fluctuation
✅ Factory direct: Flexible sample & small batch support for engineering validation
Application
- Industrial control modules
- Medical compact embedded boards
- Camera/vision sensor modules
- Handheld portable devices
- SSD / high-speed storage modules
- Automotive auxiliary electronic assemblies
- Consumer electronics stacked PCB solutions

Factory Certification & Custom Service
Certifications: ISO9001, RoHS, REACH compliant.
- Sample Policy: Free samples available, fast sample release
- MOQ: Low MOQ for standard parts; custom pin count/stacking height available upon request
- Customization: Custom PIN, stacking height, plating thickness, shielding options for special project requirements
- Full engineering support: Datasheet, 2D/3D drawing, PCB footprint, test report available upon request
Engineer Selection Guidance
- Confirm your required mated stack height (we support multiple height variants from DF40TC series)
- Verify PCB footprint; this part matches HRS DF40TC(2.0)-60DS-0.4V land pattern
- Check high-speed requirement: For PCIe4 / 16Gbps signal, use matched pair routing
- Mechanical check: 0.33mm self-alignment range; avoid excessive mating force
- SMT: Use standard lead-free reflow profile; stencil opening design per our PCB footprint recommendation
- Contact our engineering team for stack-up simulation or mating validation support
FAQ
Q: Do you have a catalogue? Can you send me the catalogue to check all your products?
A: Yes, you can contact us online or send an Email to get the catalogue.
Q: I can't find the product in your catalogue. Can you make this product for me?
A: Our catalogue shows most of our products, but not all. Just let us know what product you need and how many you want. If we do not have it, we can also design and make a new mould to produce it. For your reference, making an ordinary mould will take about 35-45 days.
Q: Can you provide a sample? Are these samples free?
A: Yes, we provide 5-10 pcs of connector free samples for testing. But you have to pay the shipping cost
Q: What about your delivery time?
A: Stock goods are delivered within 1 day; customized goods are delivered within 5-7days
Q: How to ship my order?
A: For small packages, send them by Express, such as DHL, FedEx, UPS, TNT, EMS. That's Door-to-Door service. For big packages, we can send them by Air or by sea. We use standard export cartons. We will be responsible for any product damage caused during delivery.
6. Q: What kind of payment do you accept? Can I pay RMB?
A: Weaccept T/T(Wire transfer), Western Union, and PayPal. Please be sure that we can receive the same amount as the Invoice. And you can pay money in RMB. No problem.
7. Q: How about your company's quality control
A: Strictly follow ISO9001; IQC, OQC, IPQC, and QA occupy 10% of our Quality department. The CCD test is applied to 99% of our company's product applications.
Q: I need your price list of all your products. Do you have a price list?
A: We do not have a price list of all of our products. Because we have so many items, it's impossible to make all of their prices on a list, and the prices are always changing because of the material cost and quantity. And you can give us a list of all of the items you need; we will confirm carefully one by one and give you a specification and price list
Q: Can you make customized products and customized packing?
A: Yes. We have made a lot of customized
products for our customers before (mainly wire harnesses). About customized packing, there is no problem; we can put your logo or other information on the packing. Just have to point out that it will cause some additional cost.
Q: What certificates do you have?
A: CE, CQC, UL, ISO9001, ISO14001, IATF16949, ISO45001, QC080000, etc.
