The Hirose DF12NB(5.0)-36DP-0.5V(51) is a 36-position header from the DF12 series, designed for parallel board stacking at a mated height of 5 mm.
5 mm Stack Height and Solder Retention
The mated stacking height of 5 mm is fixed by the DF12NB(5.0) variant — the (5.0) in the order code signals this dimension. The height above board is 0.169" (4.30 mm), which means the mating receptacle sits 0.70 mm above the header's top surface. That retention is a practical advantage on a 36-position part where the cumulative solder joint stress from the opposite board matters.
The DF12NB(5.0) family offers the same 0.50 mm pitch and 5 mm stack height across 30, 36, 50, and 60 positions. The 36-position variant sits between the 30-position DF12NB(5.0)-30DP-0.5V(51) and the 50-position DF12NB(5.0)-50DP-0.5V(51).
