The Hirose DF12(3.0)-50DP-0.5V(86) is a 50-position header with outer shroud contacts from the DF12 series, designed for board-to-board mezzanine stacking. The 0.50 mm pitch and 3 mm mated stacking height fix the board spacing — this is not adjustable; the mating receptacle must also be a DF12(3.0) variant to achieve the correct stack height. Gold plating on the contacts (8.00 µin) suits moderate mating cycle duty in controlled environments like consumer electronics or portable device internals.
Mating Compatibility
This header mates with the DF12(3.0)-50DS-0.5V(86) receptacle — the 50-position count and 0.50 mm pitch must match on both halves. The outer shroud contacts on the header align with the receptacle's inner contact beams; the 3 mm stack height is achieved only when both halves are from the DF12(3.0) series. No other stacking height variant will produce the correct mated gap.
