It uses a 0.50mm pitch and a center strip contact arrangement, which tells you this is a parallel-board interconnect — not a wire-to-board or edge-card type. The mated stacking height is 3mm, a common gap for compact handheld or embedded systems where every millimeter of z-height matters. Gold-plated contacts with 8.00µin thickness handle moderate mating cycles without fretting corrosion, typical for internal board stacks that aren't frequently reconnected. No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy on record. The Tape & Reel packaging feeds standard pick-and-place lines. ## Surface Mount Assembly and Footprint Notes The 0.50mm pitch requires a tight pad layout — verify your board house can hold the registration tolerance. The center strip contacts mean the mating plug (DF12 series header) aligns on the board's centerline, not the edge.","metaTitle":"Hirose DF12NC(3.0)-14DS-0.5V(51) Receptacle, 14 Pos","metaDescription":"Hirose DF12NC(3.0)-14DS-0.5V(51) receptacle, 14 positions, 0.50mm pitch, 3mm stacking height.
