For high-cycle or harsh-environment applications, a thicker gold option may be preferred, but this variant is not specified for that duty.","metaTitle":"Hirose DF12-30DS-0.5V(81) Receptacle, 30 Pos, 0.50mm Pitch","metaDescription":"Hirose DF12-30DS-0.5V(81) 30-position receptacle, 0.50mm pitch, 2 rows, gold contacts.
