The 0.50mm pitch packs 36 circuits into a compact footprint, with the dual-row layout keeping the board edge narrow enough for dense PCB layouts. The 0.50mm pitch sets the trace escape routing: you need micro-vias or tight neck-downs between pads, and the PCB fab must handle the finer registration. Surface mount termination means the header reflows alongside other SMT components — no through-hole solder tails to plan for on the opposite side. The outer shroud contacts on the header align with the receptacle's inner contact beams.","metaTitle":"Hirose DF12(3.5)36DP0.5V(80, 36-Pos 0.50mm Mezzanine Header","metaDescription":"Hirose DF12 series 36-position 0.50mm pitch mezzanine header, 3.5mm stack height, gold contacts, surface mount.

Quotes are confirmed at the time of request."},{"question":"Is DF12(3.5)36DP0.5V(80 obsolete?","answer":"Yes, Hirose lists this part as obsolete. No ongoing production — supply is limited to surplus inventory.
