The Hirose DF12-20DS-0.5V(80) is a 20-position, 2-row receptacle with center strip contacts from the DF12 series, a 0.50 mm pitch mezzanine connector family designed for parallel board stacking. The 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch packs 20 circuits into a compact footprint — the tight pitch means the board layout needs controlled impedance routing if used for high-speed signals, and the via keep-out zone around each pad is minimal. This receptacle accepts the matching DF12 series plug header (the male counterpart with the same 0.50 mm pitch and position count) to form a board-to-board interconnect. The mated stacking height is configurable: the receptacle alone sits 0.106" (2.70mm) above the board, and the mated assembly supports 3.5mm, 4mm, or 5mm stack heights depending on which plug height variant is paired. That flexibility lets the same receptacle serve different board spacing requirements across a product family — a single BOM line for the receptacle while the plug height changes per assembly.

Frequently asked questions
What is the stacking height of DF12-20DS-0.5V(80)?
The DF12-20DS-0.5V(80) receptacle supports mated stacking heights of 3.5mm, 4mm, or 5mm, depending on which plug height variant is mated with it. The receptacle itself sits 0.106" (2.70mm) above the board surface.
What is the pitch of DF12-20DS-0.5V(80)?
The pitch is 0.020" (0.50mm), a fine-pitch mezzanine connector spacing that requires careful PCB layout for routing density and via placement.
