Board-to-Board Stacking Fit at 0.50mm Pitch
The Hirose DF12(3.0)-50DS-0.5V(80) is a 50-position receptacle from the DF12 series, built for parallel board stacking at a fixed 3mm mated height.
Obsolete — Sourcing This Part Now
The DF12(3.0)-50DS-0.5V(80) is listed as obsolete. No official replacement suffix is recorded, so any cross-reference must be verified against the board footprint and stack height. If your design is still in development, the active DF12(3.0)-50DS-0.5V(70) variant shares the same 50-position, 0.50mm pitch, and 3mm stack height — confirm the (70) suffix datasheet matches your assembly before swapping the BOM line.
What the 3mm Stack Height and 0.50mm Pitch Mean for Your Layout
That 3mm is tight — no room for tall components on the inner faces. The 0.50mm pitch forces a fine-line PCB trace and via pattern; standard 0.50mm pitch DF12 footprints use staggered via pads to route out the inner rows.
