The 0.020\" (0.50mm) pitch packs 60 circuits into two rows, which means the board footprint is tight — routing a breakout from every pad at this density typically requires at least two inner layers on the PCB. The 0.106\" (2.70mm) height above board is the body height; the actual mated stack height depends on the matching header height, with supported stacking heights of 3.5mm, 4mm, and 5mm from this same receptacle part number. ## Stack Height Flexibility from One Receptacle A single DF12B-60DS-0.5V(86) receptacle accommodates three different mated stacking heights — 3.5mm, 4mm, and 5mm — by pairing it with the corresponding DF12 series header of the appropriate height. This means the same receptacle part number can be used across multiple board-spacing designs in a product family, reducing the number of unique line items on the BOM. The 3.5mm stack height is the tightest option, useful for compact handheld or portable equipment where z-height is at a premium.","metaTitle":"Hirose DF12B-60DS-0.5V(86) 60-Position 0.50mm Pitch","metaDescription":"Hirose DF12B-60DS-0.5V(86) 60-position 0.50mm pitch board-to-board receptacle, center strip contacts, gold plating, SMT, 2.70mm height, supports 3.5-5mm stack","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":"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":"60","Mated Stacking Heights":"3.5mm, 4mm, 5mm","Contact Finish Thickness":"8.00µin (0.203µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.7200","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/801352e576480b4c19254a5dc0f8f8a7.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is DF12B-60DS-0.5V(86) obsolete?","answer":"Yes, the Hirose DF12B-60DS-0.5V(86) is officially listed as obsolete."},{"question":"What is the mated stacking height for DF12B-60DS-0.5V(86)?","answer":"The DF12B-60DS-0.5V(86) receptacle supports mated stacking heights of 3.5mm, 4mm, and 5mm when paired with the matching DF12 series header of the corresponding height."},{"question":"What is the pitch of DF12B-60DS-0.5V(86)?","answer":"The pitch is 0.020\" (0.50mm), which is the center-to-center spacing between adjacent contacts in each row."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/hirose-electric-co-ltd/DF12B-60DS-0.5V~186~2","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/hirose-electric-co-ltd/DF12B-60DS-0.5V~186~2 when reusing this data.
