I've just made another PCB with a footprint for a Hirose 50 way DF12 connector with 0.5 mm lead spacing, it turned out very well. The DF12 pads are 0.38x1.00 mm. The PCB is double-sided with a continuous ground plane on one side. I used my usual photo-etch technique with artwork printed onto JetStar film using an Epson 870 printer. I've uploaded a pic of part of the PCB to Photos, in my 'Leon's' folder. Leon
