Hirose DF12 Series Straight Surface Mount PCB Header, 30 Contacts, 0.5 mm Pitch, 2 Row, Shrouded DF12

Hirose DF12 series straight surface mount PCB header (model DF12) offers a compact and reliable solution for board-to-board interconnections in high-density electronic assemblies. The connector features 30 gold plated copper alloy male contacts arranged in two rows with a 0.5 mm pitch, ensuring excellent signal integrity and minimal crosstalk in sensitive electronics applications.

Constructed with a polyamide housing rated to UL94V-0 standards, this header resists high temperatures and mechanical stresses. It operates safely within a temperature range of -45°C to 125°C, suitable for industrial, telecommunications, computer, and instrumentation uses. The surface mount design simplifies PCB assembly processes while providing secure mechanical retention aided by board guide bosses and metal fittings.

The shrouded connector system protects contacts from damage and misalignment, enhancing long-term reliability. This PCB header is rated for up to 50 volts and 300 milliamps current, making it ideal for low-power signal and control circuits. It is compatible with matching DF12 series receptacles allowing varied stacking heights from 3.0 to 5.0 mm depending on version.

Features include gold plating for corrosion resistance, solder termination for strong electrical contacts, and two-row contact configuration maximizing connection density on compact PCBs. Common industrial uses include electronic assembly, telecommunications, computing devices, and general electronics manufacturing.
