Summary. Hirose identifies DF62C-7S-2.2C(11), CL0544-0570-4-11, as a seven-position DF62 socket housing with a protected-lock form, 2.2 mm contact pitch and black colour code. This guide explains how to verify the exact housing, proposed contacts and mating records without treating a family name or similar appearance as compatibility evidence. It does not approve a terminal, wire, tool, mate, finished cable, substitution, inventory position, price or application.
Start with the exact orderable record
Open the EPPTC DF62C-7S-2.2C(11) product record and preserve the parentheses and suffix in every BOM and enquiry. The Hirose official DF62C-7S-2.2C(11) page supplies the exact part and CL number. Record the URL, access date and document revision. Do not collapse this part into a generic “DF62 seven-position housing,” because the series contains different housing forms, colours, positions and interface roles.
Decode the name only with manufacturer evidence
The Hirose DF62 series catalogue explains that DF62C denotes the protected-lock type, S denotes a socket, 2.2 denotes contact pitch, C denotes a crimping housing and suffix 11 identifies the black socket option. These fields are useful for identity control, but they do not independently select a terminal or mating component. The controlled product page and drawings remain the authority for the exact orderable record.
Verify the interface and mate explicitly
The official Hirose 2D drawing for CL0544-0570-4-11 should be reviewed for dimensions, lock features and the exact configuration. Hirose's product page lists possible fitting terminals and mating connectors as separate records. Capture the proposed terminal and mate by complete manufacturer number, then compare the current drawing and relevant specification. A related-series page or a visually similar connector does not prove fit.
Separate catalogue ratings from project release
Manufacturer pages and catalogues publish controlled conditions and series information. Project engineers still need to bind the exact wire construction, crimp contact, tooling method, operating environment and acceptance criteria to the correct documents. Do not copy a catalogue maximum into a project requirement without its stated test conditions and applicability. Automotive or other high-reliability use also requires the responsible project process; this article is not that approval. The release packet should identify who owns drawing review, crimp validation, sample inspection and change control. It should also record unresolved questions explicitly, so purchasing does not mistake a discovery link, preliminary sample or family-level note for an approved production configuration.
Build a traceable review checklist
- Record DF62C-7S-2.2C(11) and CL0544-0570-4-11 without shortening.
- Attach the current official product page, series catalogue and exact 2D drawing.
- List each proposed contact, wire and mating component by complete manufacturer number.
- Obtain the applicable crimp, assembly and inspection documents for the chosen production method.
- Keep substitution, inventory, price and lead time as separate review fields.
Use EPPTC related pages carefully
Use the Hirose brand page, wire-to-board connector category and DF62 series page to discover separate records. Those links are navigation aids and do not establish fit, interchangeability or suitability.
FAQ
Does DF62C-7S-2.2C(11) include terminals?
No. Treat the housing and every proposed contact as separate controlled orderable records.
Can a DF62 family match be used as substitution evidence?
No. Compare exact manufacturer numbers, plating, interface and controlled drawings before any change.
Does the article confirm stock or approval?
No. Commercial availability is time-sensitive, and project approval belongs to the responsible engineering and quality process.
Conclusion
A safe DF62C-7S-2.2C(11) review preserves the exact identity, uses first-party product and drawing sources, and turns terminal, mate and tooling assumptions into traceable tasks. For a document-led enquiry, contact Lianxinlian Electronics with the proposed contacts, mate, wire and current source revisions.
