The DF12E(3.5)-20DP-0.5V(81) is a Hirose DF12 series board-to-board mezzanine connector — a surface-mount header with outer shroud contacts, 20 positions in two rows at 0.50mm pitch.
The Hirose DF12E(3.5)-20DP-0.5V(81) is obsolete, so it is not stocked in standard distribution. Submit an RFQ for your BOM quantity to get a sourcing status.
The mated stacking height is 3.5mm, which is the z-height between the two parallel PCBs when this header is mated with its matching DF12 receptacle.
The pitch is 0.020" (0.50mm), a fine-pitch spacing suited for compact board-to-board interconnects.
