What is a DIN Connector?
Definition
![DIN Connectors](/sites/default/files/2021-11/conn_din_def_01.png)
Connectors that conform to German industrial standard DIN 41612.
Board-to-board connectors with 2.54 mm pitch are commonly referred to as DIN connectors.
Features
Internationally standardized high-density, high-reliability connectors
XC4/5/6/7 DIN Connector
The XC5/XC6 twin-contact type ensures high reliability thanks to low insertion force and wiping effect by using the single-sided 2-point contact method.
XC4 intended for large currents, and XC7 for sequence connections are also available.

DIN Connector Wide variation
XC5 DIN-style connectors

![XC5 DIN-style connectors: PCB mounting](/us-en/sites/components.omron.com.us/files/2021-11/conn_din_type_02.png)
Features
- Ideal for automated soldering because the Connectors sit on top of the board.
- For the difference between standard DIN and DIN style, see the above chart.
XC5 Connectors with Large Stacking Space

Features
- Models with stacking space 25 or 30 mm are available.
- Models with 16, 20, or 32 contacts are available.
XC5 Fine-fit Connectors

Features
- Soldering and cleaning are unnecessary because mounting on the board uses a press-fitting method.
- Workability is improved compared to hand soldering.
- Ideal for backplane systems.
XC6 DIN Connectors with Cables Attached

Features
- Ideal for connecting various buses in rack systems.
- Convenient for backplane configurations.
- Models of 96 contacts or 64 contacts (pulled-out type) are available.
XC7 DIN Sequence Connectors

![XC7 DIN Sequence Connectors](/sites/default/files/2021-11/conn_din_type_10.png)
Features
- Hot-swapping of daughter boards is possible by connecting the power line first and disconnecting the power line last.
- Insertion durability of 5,000 cycles, high reliability achieved by mated length of 4mm.
- A three-stage sequence is realized.
XC4 Medium/High-Current Connectors

![XC4 Medium/High-Current Connectors](/sites/default/files/2021-11/conn_din_type_13_0.png)
Features
- Carry medium/high current (6 to 40 A) for board-to-board or board-to-wire applications.
