The 0.020\" (0.50mm) pitch packs 32 contacts into a compact footprint — tight enough that the board layout needs 0.3mm trace-and-space rules to route the inner rows. The 2.70mm height above board works with the three listed mated stacking heights of 3.5mm, 4mm, and 5mm, so one connector on the BOM can serve different board-spacing requirements in the same assembly. ## Obsolete — Sourced Through Surplus Channel The DF12-32DS-0.5V(86) is listed as Obsolete. No factory orders are accepted; the only supply is through independent distributor surplus and broker inventory. The DF12 series continues in production with other position counts and plating options, so a pin-compatible replacement within the same family may exist — confirm the position count, pitch, and stacking height against the current DF12 catalog before requalifying. ## What Mates and Stacks The three mated stacking heights — 3.5mm, 4mm, and 5mm — are set by the header's own height above board; pick the header part number that gives the board spacing your design needs.","metaTitle":"Hirose DF12-32DS-0.5V(86) 32-Pos 0.50mm Receptacle, Obsolete","metaDescription":"Hirose DF12-32DS-0.5V(86) 32-position 0.50mm pitch receptacle, gold-plated contacts, 2 rows, 2.70mm height.","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)","Features":"Board Guide, Solder Retention","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Connector Type":"Receptacle, Center Strip Contacts","Contact Finish":"Gold","Number of Rows":"2","Product Status":"Obsolete","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Height Above Board":"0.106\\\" (2.70mm)","Number of Positions":"32","Mated Stacking Heights":"3.5mm, 4mm, 5mm","Contact Finish Thickness":"8.00µin (0.203µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/801352e576480b4c19254a5dc0f8f8a7.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the replacement for DF12-32DS-0.5V(86)?","answer":"A pin-compatible DF12 series header or receptacle with the same 32 positions and 0.50mm pitch may serve as a functional replacement — verify the mated stacking height and contact plating against your assembly before requalifying."},{"question":"What is the mated stacking height for DF12-32DS-0.5V(86)?","answer":"The DF12-32DS-0.5V(86) supports three mated stacking heights: 3.5mm, 4mm, and 5mm.
