The Hirose DF12(3.0)-36DP-0.5V(80) is a 36-position, 2-row header from the DF12 series, designed for board-to-board mezzanine stacking. It uses outer shroud contacts on a 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch and mates to a complementary receptacle to achieve a 3mm mated stack height — a common z-height for compact portable electronics and embedded modules where the board gap is tight.
