Obsolete — Plan Your BOM Transition
The Hirose DF12E(5.0)-30DP-0.5V(81) is officially obsolete. This is a 30-position, 0.50mm-pitch board-to-board header from the DF12 series, designed for mezzanine stacking at a 5mm mated height. The outer shroud contacts and dual-row layout suit dense PCB-to-PCB interconnects in compact electronics. Gold-plated contacts (8.00µin) provide reliable signal connections over repeated mating cycles.
What the 5mm Stacking Height Means for Board Layout
With a 0.50mm pitch and 30 positions across two rows, the footprint is compact — the header occupies roughly 7.5mm of board edge per row. The surface-mount termination requires a reflow profile compatible with the gold-plated contacts; the 8.00µin finish handles the mating cycles typical of production assembly without fret.
