5mm stack height, 36 positions, 0.50mm pitch
The DF12E(5.0)-36DP-0.5V(81) is a 36-position, 2-row header from Hirose's DF12 series, with a 0.50mm pitch and a fixed mated stacking height of 5mm. The outer shroud contacts and gold plating (8.00µin) suit repeated mating cycles in compact board-to-board stacks. Surface-mount termination and Tape & Reel packaging mean it's built for automated pick-and-place assembly — the 0.50mm pitch demands careful PCB layout and solder paste control.
What mates and what doesn't
As a header with outer shroud contacts, this part mates with the corresponding DF12 receptacle (female side) designed for the same 5mm stack height and 0.50mm pitch. The 36-position count and 2-row layout are fixed — no field-configurable options.
