The connector sits 0.106\" (2.70mm) above the board surface and supports mated stacking heights of 3.5mm, 4mm, or 5mm, giving the board layout engineer flexibility in z-height budget between parallel PCBs. The 40 circuits at 0.50mm pitch demand careful PCB layout — the routing density between pads is tight, and the dual-row footprint requires the matching DF12 series header (typically a DF12A or DF12C header with 40 positions) to complete the mezzanine connection.","metaTitle":"Hirose DF12A-40DS-0.5V(80) 40-Position 0.50mm Receptacle","metaDescription":"Hirose DF12A-40DS-0.5V(80) 40-position, 0.50mm pitch receptacle, center strip contacts, dual-row, gold finish.

For a new design requiring the same 0.50mm pitch and 40 positions, evaluate current Hirose DF12 series variants such as the DF12C or DF12E families, which maintain the same footprint and stacking height options.
