Moreover, the connector provide stress-free contact for 0.5mm floating function in XYZ directions for greater flexibility during the installation process. DF59 has a 2mm pitch and is available in 2, 3 and 4 positions. It has a high current capacity of 3A (with AWG 22 cable) and high contact lance strength for wire-to-board type connections.
