The Hirose DF12NB(5.0)-60DP-0.5V(51) is a 60-position, dual-row header with outer shroud contacts from the DF12 series, designed for board-to-board mezzanine stacking at a 5 mm mated height. The 0.50 mm pitch packs 60 signal paths into a compact footprint, and the gold-plated contacts (8.00 µin) provide a reliable interconnect for repeated mating cycles in dense PCB assemblies.
5 mm Stacking Height and 0.50 mm Pitch
The 0.50 mm pitch drives the PCB land pattern and routing density; each signal pair needs a trace-and-space capable of fitting between adjacent pads, so verify your fab house can hold the tolerances before committing the layout.
Solder Retention for Reliable SMT Assembly
On a 60-position connector, that shear force adds up — the retention anchors keep the solder joints from fatiguing under vibration or during board handling in production.
Position Count and Series Fit
At 60 positions, this is the highest circuit count in the DF12NB(5.0) height variant — the same 0.50 mm pitch, 5 mm stack, and gold plating as the 50-position DF12NB(5.0)-50DP-0.5V(51) and the 36-position DF12NB(5.0)-36DP-0.5V(51). The choice between them is a straight circuit-count match to the BOM: if the design needs 60 signals, this is the one; if the count is lower, drop to the 50 or 36 position sibling without changing the footprint or stack height.
