32-Position, 0.50mm-Pitch Board-to-Board Receptacle for 3mm Stacking
The Hirose DF12(3.0)-32DS-0.5V(86) is a 32-position, 2-row receptacle with center strip contacts on a 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch. It is designed for surface-mount board-to-board interconnects where the mated stack height is 3mm — the (3.0) in the order code directly specifies that height.
Lifecycle Status: Obsolete — Sourced to Order
The DF12(3.0)-32DS-0.5V(86) is listed as Obsolete. If a pin-compatible drop-in from the same series exists, it is not documented here; verify the footprint and stacking height against any alternative before committing.
Mating and Assembly Fit
This receptacle mates with the matching DF12 series header that yields a 3mm mated stack height — the header's height above board plus the receptacle's 0.087" (2.20mm) height sums to 3mm. The surface-mount footprint and solder retention features are designed for standard reflow soldering; the board guide assists alignment during manual or automated placement.
