0.40 mm Pitch, 10-Position Receptacle for Ultra-Compact Mezzanine Stacks
The Hirose KN13C0.7-10DS-0.4V(800) is a 10-position receptacle from the KN13C series, designed for board-to-board mezzanine connections at a 0.016" (0.40mm) pitch. It mates with the matching header KN13C0.7-10DP-0.4V(800) to form a mated stack height of 0.7mm, making it suited for ultra-thin handheld devices, wearables, and other space-constrained electronics where z-height is at a premium. The dual-row, center strip contact arrangement provides a compact footprint while maintaining signal integrity for low-voltage, low-current digital interfaces. The surface-mount termination with pick-and-place and solder retention features supports automated SMT placement without secondary handling.
What the 0.7 mm Stack Height Means for Board Layout
At this height, the connector is one of the lowest-profile options in the 0.40mm pitch class, allowing the overall assembly to fit within a 1.0 mm or thinner enclosure. The 0.028" (0.71mm) height above board on this receptacle side means the solder tails sit flush with the PCB surface, leaving the bottom board clear for components on the opposite side. Because the pitch is 0.40mm, the PCB footprint requires fine-line routing — typically 0.15 mm trace/space or tighter — and the solder pads must match the connector's staggered dual-row layout.
Mating Header and Position Variants
The direct mating half for this receptacle is the Hirose KN13C0.7-10DP-0.4V(800) header, which shares the same 0.40mm pitch, 10 positions, dual-row layout, and gold plating. The header has a slightly lower height above board (0.022" / 0.57mm) to achieve the 0.7mm stack height when mated.
No official cross-reference or second-source is on record — the mating header KN13C0.7-10DP-0.4V(800) is the only documented mate.
