FFF CompatibilityMating interface is a direct match, but the wire termination method changes from manual solder eyelets to IDC (Insulation Displacement), requiring flat ribbon cable and IDC tooling.Maintains the identical physical footprint, D-shape shell, and latching mechanisms of the original Hirose DX series.Matches all primary electrical characteristics, including contact pitch (1.27mm), 68 positions, and gold contact plating.Standard MDR mating compatibility, but utilizes IDC termination instead of solder eyelets and requires 3M backshell hardware.Mates with standard MDR receptacles, but physical outer body and latch accessories differ from the original Hirose DX series.Fulfills the identical electrical function of a 68-position high-density shielded interface.
AI Summary

DX40-68P(55) by Hirose Electric Co Ltd: 68 Position Plug Connector Miniature High Density (HD) Free Hanging (In-Line) Solder Eyelet(s).

The DX30A-68P(50) is an active sibling in Hirose's DX series. It maintains a direct-fit mating interface and fits existing Hirose hoods, but transitions the termination style from manual solder eyelets to IDC.

  • Direct sibling within the Hirose DX series, ensuring perfect compatibility with original Hirose DX-68-CV1 hoods/backshells
  • Active product status under active manufacturer support
  • IDC termination provides much faster and more repeatable assembly for ribbon cables than manual soldering
  • Requires transitioning from discrete-wire soldering to flat ribbon cable assembly with IDC press tools

The 3M 10168-6000EC is an active industry-standard MDR plug that features IDC termination. It serves as an excellent second-source alternative if the cable assembly process is migrated to IDC ribbon cables.

  • Active and widely supported industry-standard 3M MDR plug
  • IDC termination speeds up cable production compared to manual soldering
  • Superior shielding characteristics designed for high-density applications
  • Requires flat ribbon cable and IDC press tooling rather than manual soldering
  • Incompatible with original Hirose DX series backshells

You searched one part. Parter watches your whole BOM.

  1. All your BOM, at once

    Parter maps every line to live stock, lead time, lifecycle and compliance data across the entire market — not part by part.

  2. Hear about problems before they hit production

    Allocation, EOL and last-time-buy notices surface the moment they appear, not when your buyer's PO bounces.

  3. Qualified replacements in minutes, not days

    Every at-risk line gets form-fit-function matches like the ones above — deltas flagged, evidence attached. Review, push to your BOM, and Parter starts watching the new part too.
