80 Circuits at 0.50mm Pitch — High-Density Mezzanine Interconnect
The Hirose DF12(3.0)-80DS-0.5V(80) is an 80-position receptacle from the DF12 series, built for board-to-board mezzanine stacking with a 3mm mated stack height. The 0.50mm pitch packs 80 circuits into a 2-row footprint — dense enough for parallel data buses or wide I/O in compact handheld or embedded designs.
Obsolete — Sourcing This Part for a BOM Line
This DF12(3.0)-80DS-0.5V(80) is listed as Obsolete on the manufacturer's lifecycle record. It is no longer in regular factory production, so new-build designs should not specify it.
The board guide on this receptacle helps align the pair during assembly, reducing shear stress on the fine-pitch contacts.
