Board-to-Board Mezzanine Header — Obsolete, Sourced to Order
The Hirose DF12D(3.0)-40DP-0.5V(81) is a 40-position surface-mount header from the DF12 series, designed for board-to-board mezzanine stacking. It uses outer shroud contacts on a 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch in two rows, with a mated stacking height of 3mm — a compact footprint for parallel PCB interconnects in tight z-height budgets.
Key Specs for the Fit Check
The 40 positions match a 40-circuit BOM line; the two-row layout keeps the connector width manageable.
Termination is surface-mount only; no through-hole option for this variant.
