Board-to-board fit for tight z-height budgets
The DF12(3.0)-60DS-0.5V(80): This is a 60-position receptacle from the Hirose DF12 series, pitched at 0.50mm and laid out in two rows. The mated stack height is 3mm, which puts it in the low-profile mezzanine range — useful when the board-to-board gap is tight and you still need 60 signal paths.
Obsolete — sourcing path and replacement planning
Hirose has marked the DF12(3.0)-60DS-0.5V(80) as obsolete. There is no official successor listed in the evidence, so any BOM line using this part needs a replacement evaluation or a last-time buy. We can source remaining inventory or cross-ship alternatives through our supply network — submit an RFQ with your target quantity and we'll confirm availability and pricing at quote time.
Mounting and board retention features
Height above board is 2.20mm, which combined with the 3mm stacking height means the mating plug sits 0.80mm above the receptacle body — a detail that matters when you're routing traces under the connector or fitting a stiffener on the opposite side.
