M80-5010842

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M80-5010842 is a male header connector from the Harwin Datamate J-Tek series. It features 8 positions arranged in a dual inline (DIL) configuration with two rows. The connector utilizes a 2.00mm (0.079 inch) mating pitch and a 2.54mm row spacing. Designed for through-hole mounting, it employs solder termination. The housing is constructed from black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) reinforced with glass fiber, rated UL94 V-0. Contacts are made of phosphor bronze with gold plating on the mating interface.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Datamate J-Tek series design ensures high reliability and durability in demanding environments.
• Four-finger beryllium copper contact technology provides secure connection integrity under vibration and shock.
• Shrouded housing design prevents misalignment during mating processes.
• Compatible with various Datamate J-Tek receptacles and wire harnesses.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• General industrial interconnects
• Automotive electronics systems
• Military and defense equipment
• Board-to-board or cable connections

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm pin count, orientation, and termination style match the design requirements. Ensure compatibility with the corresponding Datamate J-Tek receptacle part number. Confirm that the gold plating thickness and material specifications meet the environmental and electrical standards of the target application before finalizing procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, high-density male header is required for through-hole PCB assembly. The 2.00mm pitch allows for compact board layouts compared to standard 2.54mm headers. Consider the operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and the UL94 V-0 flammability rating for safety compliance. Ensure the mechanical locking mechanism aligns with the system's retention needs.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate J-Tek family, known for robust performance in harsh conditions. The series supports various configurations including vertical and right-angle orientations. It is widely used in applications requiring reliable signal and power transmission where resistance to mechanical stress is critical. The M80 prefix indicates the specific product line within the Harwin portfolio.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include other 8-position male headers such as M80-5010805 or M80-5010843, depending on the required plating thickness or packaging. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 2.00mm pitch and DIL form factor to ensure mechanical fit and electrical continuity without redesigning the PCB footprint.
