Board-Stacking Header for Tight Z-Height Budgets
The Hirose DF30RC-20DP-0.4V(81) is a 20-position, dual-row header with center strip contacts, part of the DF30 series. It uses a 0.016" (0.40mm) pitch and surface-mount termination, with a height above board of 0.031" (0.80mm) and a mated stack height of 0.9mm. This is a board-to-board mezzanine connector built for applications where the gap between parallel PCBs is tight — think handheld devices, wearables, or any assembly where every tenth of a millimetre of z-height is allocated before the connector is chosen.
Position Count and the Closest Sibling
The DF30RC-20DP-0.4V(81) carries 20 positions. The closest functional alternative in the same series is the DF30RC-24DP-0.4V(81), which shares the same 0.016" (0.40mm) pitch, 0.031" (0.80mm) height, dual-row layout, and gold contact finish, but offers 24 positions.
