B5743-216-M-L-0

Overview

The B5743-216-M-L-0 is a Datamate L-Tek male plug connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a double-row configuration with 16 positions (8+8) and a 2.00mm pitch. Designed for through-board mounting, it utilizes right-angle termination with 3mm PCB contact length. The contacts are phosphor bronze with selective gold plating on mating areas and tin/lead finish elsewhere. Rated for 120VAC/DC, the housing is black UL94 V-0 rated polyester reinforced with glass fiber.

Feature Summary

• Double-row male plug design with integrated latch mechanism for secure mating
• Right-angle horizontal orientation suitable for space-constrained board layouts
• Selective contact plating ensures reliable electrical performance and corrosion resistance

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces
• Embedded systems with limited vertical clearance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L-0' to confirm right-angle orientation and 3mm termination length. Ensure compatibility with corresponding female sockets in the Datamate L-Tek series. Confirm that the tin/lead contact finish meets project requirements regarding material specifications and environmental compliance standards before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a right-angle male header is required for double-row applications. The 2.00mm pitch allows for high density while maintaining adequate spacing. Consider the latch feature for vibration resistance. Verify that the 120V rating suffices for the target circuit voltage and that the through-board mounting style aligns with the PCB design constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for high-density interconnect solutions. The B5743 series specifically denotes male plugs with latching mechanisms. The 'M' indicates male contacts, 'L' signifies the right-angle form factor, and '0' specifies the termination type. This series is widely used in compact electronic assemblies where reliable signal transmission is critical.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference part number M80-8671622 as an equivalent identifier. Ensure any substitute maintains the same 16-position count, 2.00mm pitch, and right-angle geometry. Verify that the replacement offers identical latching functionality and contact plating specifications to guarantee mechanical and electrical compatibility.
