The 0.50 mm pitch packs 60 signal paths into a compact footprint, and the gold-plated contacts (8.00 µin) provide a reliable interconnect for repeated mating cycles in dense PCB assemblies. ## 5 mm Stacking Height and 0.50 mm Pitch The 0.50 mm pitch drives the PCB land pattern and routing density; each signal pair needs a trace-and-space capable of fitting between adjacent pads, so verify your fab house can hold the tolerances before committing the layout. ## Solder Retention for Reliable SMT Assembly On a 60-position connector, that shear force adds up — the retention anchors keep the solder joints from fatiguing under vibration or during board handling in production. ## Position Count and Series Fit At 60 positions, this is the highest circuit count in the DF12NB(5.0) height variant — the same 0.50 mm pitch, 5 mm stack, and gold plating as the 50-position DF12NB(5.0)-50DP-0.5V(51) and the 36-position DF12NB(5.0)-36DP-0.5V(51). The choice between them is a straight circuit-count match to the BOM: if the design needs 60 signals, this is the one; if the count is lower, drop to the 50 or 36 position sibling without changing the footprint or stack height.","metaTitle":"Hirose DF12NB(5.0)-60DP-0.5V(51) Header, 60 Pos","metaDescription":"Hirose DF12NB(5.0)-60DP-0.5V(51) 60-position SMT header, 0.50mm pitch, 5mm stacking height.
