B5743-216-M-T-1

Overview

The B5743-216-M-T-1 is a Datamate L-Tek male pin header manufactured by Harwin. It features a 16-position, 2-row configuration with a 2 mm pitch. Designed for through-hole vertical mounting, the connector utilizes solder pin termination. The contacts are gold-plated phosphor bronze, while the posts feature tin/lead plating with a nickel barrier. Rated for 800V AC/DC and 3A current, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The housing is a shrouded, four-wall design made from black glass-reinforced polyester meeting UL94 V-0 flammability standards.

Feature Summary

• Datamate L-Tek series interconnect system providing secure mating via pin locks
• Shrouded four-wall housing design ensuring precise alignment and protection
• Gold-plated contact surfaces for reliable signal transmission
• Vertical board-to-board or cable connection capability

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust rectangular connectors
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces
• Automotive electronics applications
• Medical device hardware connections

Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status as datasheets may indicate non-compliance due to lead content in post plating. Confirm REACH SVHC details before integration. Check for obsolescence notices or PCN alerts regarding material changes. Ensure ordering suffixes match required latch or housing variations. Validate that the specific batch meets project environmental requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-position male header is required for high-density layouts. The 2 mm pitch allows for compact board designs compared to standard 2.54 mm headers. The shrouded design prevents misalignment during insertion. Consider the operating temperature range and voltage rating against circuit demands. Verify compatibility with corresponding female sockets in the same series.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for its versatility in mixed-signal applications. The B5743 prefix indicates a male header variant. Similar parts include B5743-214-M-T-1 (14 positions) and B5743-220-M-T-1 (20 positions). The series supports various termination styles and housing configurations for diverse mechanical constraints.

Replacement Considerations

M80-8671622 is an equivalent part number for this component. Cross-reference with other Harwin Datamate variants if position counts differ. Ensure mating partners share the same 2 mm pitch and locking mechanism specifications.
