No factory orders are being accepted, and there is no direct replacement from Hirose with the same 3 mm stack height and 0.50 mm pitch in the DF12 family. ## Board Layout and Termination Notes Surface-mount termination on a 0.50 mm pitch means the solder pads are tight — expect a 0.25 mm to 0.30 mm pad width with a 0.20 mm solder mask web between pads. The board guide features on the header help align the part during pick-and-place, and the solder retention features hold it in place through reflow without secondary adhesive. The 2.30 mm height above board (0.091\") leaves clearance for passives on the bottom board under the header body, but check your tallest component on that side against the 3 mm stack minus the header body height.","metaTitle":"Hirose DF12(3.0)-10DP-0.5V(86) Header, 10 Pos, 0.50mm Pitch","metaDescription":"Hirose DF12(3.0)-10DP-0.5V(86) 10-position header, 0.50mm pitch, 3mm stacking height, gold contacts.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Board-to-Board Connectors"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Hirose Electric Co Ltd","Pitch":"0.020\\\" (0.50mm)","Series":"DF12","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR) Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Board Guide, Solder Retention","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Connector Type":"Header, Outer Shroud Contacts","Contact Finish":"Gold","Number of Rows":"2","Product Status":"Obsolete","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Height Above Board":"0.091\\\" (2.30mm)","Number of Positions":"10","Mated Stacking Heights":"3mm","Contact Finish Thickness":"8.00µin (0.203µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.6800","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/801352e576480b4c19254a5dc0f8f8a7.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy DF12(3.0)-10DP-0.5V(86)?","answer":"DF12(3.0)-10DP-0.5V(86) is an obsolete part sourced through independent distribution — surplus stock, broker inventory, and factory overruns.
