0.50 mm Pitch, 80-Position Mezzanine Header — 2 mm Stack
The Hirose FX11LA-80P/8-SV(71) is an 80-position header from the FX11 series, designed for parallel board-to-board stacking at a mated height of 2 mm.
The mated stacking height of 2 mm is the distance between the two parallel PCBs when this header is mated with its matching receptacle (FX11LA-80S/8-SV(71), which has a height above board of 1.65 mm). That 2 mm gap is the z-height budget for component clearance between boards — tight enough for slim enclosures, but sufficient for passives and low-profile shielding cans on the inner faces.
Position Count Variant: 100-Position Option
If the BOM circuit count allows, the FX11LA-100P/10-SV(71) offers 100 positions at the same 0.50 mm pitch and 2 mm stack height, with the same gold plating and features. The 20-position delta is the only difference — the footprint and routing density scale accordingly.
