The Hirose DF12D(3.0)-80DP-0.5V(81) is an 80-position, dual-row header from the DF12 series, designed for board-to-board mezzanine stacking. With a 0.50mm pitch and a mated stacking height of 3mm, it suits dense PCB layouts where vertical space is constrained. The outer shroud contacts provide alignment and protection during mating, while the integrated board guide aids placement during assembly.
Pitch and Stack Height Drive the Fit
The 0.50mm pitch demands tight PCB routing — trace widths and spaces must match the fine-pitch land pattern.
Mating and Assembly Notes
Surface-mount termination requires reflow soldering; the Tape & Reel packaging supports automated pick-and-place. Gold contact finish on both mating surfaces handles the mating cycles typical of production and rework.
