Board spacing and footprint match
The DF12C(3.0)-20DS-0.5V(81): This DF12C receptacle sets a fixed 3mm mated stacking height between boards — the z-height budget for your mezzanine pair is locked at that dimension, not adjustable. The 0.50mm pitch and 20 positions in two rows define the PCB footprint: each row carries 10 contacts, and the 2.20mm height above board leaves clearance for passives on the underside.
