The Hirose DF12NB(3.5)-36DP-0.5V(51) is a 36-position header with outer shroud contacts from the DF12 series, designed for parallel board-to-board mezzanine connections at a fixed 3.5mm mated stack height. The 0.50mm pitch packs 36 circuits into a dual-row layout, keeping the board footprint compact for dense PCB assemblies.
What the 3.5mm Stack Height and 0.50mm Pitch Mean for Layout
The 3.5mm mated stack height is the dimension between the two parallel PCBs when the header and its mating receptacle are fully engaged. That z-height is fixed — no adjustment — so your board spacing is locked at 3.5mm.
The DF12 series offers the same 0.50mm pitch and 3.5mm stack height across multiple position counts. The 36-position DF12NB(3.5)-36DP-0.5V(51) sits between the 20-position DF12NB(3.5)-20DP-0.5V(51) and the 40-position DF12NB(3.5)-40DP-0.5V(51).
