Product details

The Hirose DF12B(4.0)-36DP-0.5V(86) is a 36-position, 2-row, surface-mount board-to-board header from the DF12 series, designed for parallel PCB stacking.

Obsolete — Sourcing Through Surplus Channel

Hirose has marked the DF12B(4.0)-36DP-0.5V(86) as Obsolete.

Solder Retention and Board Assembly

The header includes a solder retention feature — integral metal tabs that hold the component in place during reflow, eliminating the need for a separate board lock or adhesive. This is a practical detail for high-vibration or automated assembly lines where the part must stay seated through the solder process without shifting. The surface-mount termination and 3.30 mm height above board keep the profile low for tight enclosures.

Frequently asked questions

Is DF12B(4.0)-36DP-0.5V(86) obsolete and what are the replacements?

Yes, Hirose has classified the DF12B(4.0)-36DP-0.5V(86) as Obsolete. No official replacement part number has been designated. A pin-compatible alternative within the DF12 series would need to match the 0.50 mm pitch, 36 positions, 2 rows, and 4 mm stack height; verify the specific variant before committing.

What is the mated stacking height for DF12B(4.0)-36DP-0.5V(86)?

The mated stacking height is 4 mm — the vertical gap between the two PCBs when this header is mated with the corresponding DF12 receptacle. This dimension is fixed by the header's body height and the receptacle's mating depth; it is not adjustable.

Does DF12B(4.0)-36DP-0.5V(86) have solder retention and what is the mated height?

Yes, the header includes a solder retention feature — metal tabs that hold it in place during reflow soldering. The mated stacking height is 4 mm.
