30-position, 0.50mm pitch, 3mm stack height — the board spacer that's gone end-of-life
The DF12(3.0)-30DS-0.5V(86): This is a Hirose DF12 series receptacle with center strip contacts, 30 positions in two rows, on a 0.50mm pitch. It mates to a matching header to achieve a fixed 3mm stack height between boards — a common dimension for mezzanine or parallel-board stacking in compact assemblies.
Gold-plated contacts and board retention for reliable SMT assembly
Contacts are finished with 8.00µin gold over the mating area — enough for moderate mating cycle life in a controlled environment. Surface-mount termination, supplied on Tape & Reel or Cut Tape.
