Product details

Board fit and footprint decisions

The DF12NB(3.0)-60DS-0.5V(51): The 0.50mm pitch drives the pad width and spacing on the PCB; a standard 0.50mm pitch footprint with 0.25mm pad width and 0.25mm gap works, but the board house must hold ±0.05mm registration on the solder mask to avoid bridging. Surface mount termination with solder retention means the connector self-aligns during reflow — the retention tabs on the ends pull it down to the board surface, so you don't need a separate hold-down fixture. The 60 positions at 0.50mm pitch draw about 30mm of board edge length, which fits within a standard 50mm card edge but leaves room for keep-out zones around the mounting holes.

The base product number is DF12N, and the DF12NB variant includes the solder retention feature.

Frequently asked questions

What is the mated stacking height of DF12NB(3.0)-60DS-0.5V(51)?

The mated stacking height is 3mm. This is the vertical distance between the two PCBs when the receptacle is mated with its corresponding header. If your design requires a different stack height, the DF12 series offers 4mm and 5mm options with the same footprint.

What is the difference between DF12NB and DF12N series?

The base DF12N series does not include this feature. Both share the same 0.50mm pitch, 60-position count, and 3mm stacking height, so the footprint is identical — the DF12NB adds mechanical stability during assembly.
