■Features
1. Max current of 14A
This compact connector is rated up to 14A in the
2 positions version, using 16 AWG wire.
IP67 Waterproof
2. Compact shape designed for wiring
through narrow areas
The design is optimized for wiring inside conduits and
small structures, with a smooth, rounded contour that
reduces the chance of snagging or catching inside the
conduit or other objects.
A plastic housing covers the connector, so no metal is
exposed to the conduit, preventing accidental shorting.

3. IP67 Rated
IP67 water resistant when mated. (Fig.2)
4. Simplified wire insertion
Wire and housing seals are pre-installed to provide
water proofing. A simple insertion of the crimped
contact into the housing completes the assembly.
Contacts and housing are designed to prevent
damaging the seals when inserting the contacts.

5. Positive lock structure
A robust locking structure provides a tactile click when
mating to prevent incomplete mating and disconnection
during wiring.
Compatible with a wide variety of
cables

<DF63WA>
6. Compatible with a wide variety of cables
Two versions are available with different waterproof
wire seal diameters. This variation helps to support the
use of a wide array of cable sizes.
7. Mis-mating prevention with color and
guide key options
Two housings are available each with different colors and
guide keys. This helps to prevent incorrect mating when
multiple connectors are used on the same design with the
same pin count.

Note 1 : Indicates the allowable current when the maximum current is applied to all pins.
Please note that a current could exceed the rated value when a higher current is applied through multiple circuits in a branched configuration.
Note 2 : Includes temperature rise caused by current flow.
Note 3 : The term "storage" refers to the long-term storage condition of unused products before PCB mounting. Operating
temperature/humidity range refers to the non powered state after PCB mounting, and temporary storage during
transportation.

Precautions
1. Forcibly removing a connector may damage it. If it is stuck, first push it in slightly and then release the
lock to remove.
2. Please use care when connecting a short, thick wire so as not to twist it. If twisted, damage to the
contact may occur.
3. Be sure to turn the power off before mating/unmating the connector.
4. To avoid electrical shock, do not touch the powered contacts.
5. Please contact our Sales Dept. for the Harness procedure manual (ATAD-H0814).
B
About the ratings
Do not use connectors with currents and voltages that exceed their ratings. Do not mate/unmate powered
contacts (Note 1)
Note 1 : "Live" contacts refer to the contacts that are in a powered or energized state. Mating or unmating "live" contacts
can result in electrical shock and injury.
B
About operating environments
Please contact us if you wish to use the connectors in an environment with repeated temperature
fluctuations.
