50-Position, 0.50mm Pitch Mezzanine Header — the DF12D(4.0)50DP0.5V80
The Hirose DF12D(4.0)50DP0.5V80 is a 50-position, dual-row header from the DF12 series, designed for board-to-board mezzanine stacking. Outer shroud contacts protect the signal pins during assembly and mate with the matching DF12 receptacle.

What the 4mm Stack Height and 0.50mm Pitch Mean for the Board Layout
That dimension is the z-height constraint — the board-to-board gap after the connector is fully mated. The 0.50mm pitch drives the routing density on both boards: the trace escape from the inner rows requires at least one via per signal under the component keep-out, and the 50 positions in two rows means 25 signals per row.
