M80-5012042

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M80-5012042 is a Datamate J-Tek series header connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a 20-position (10+10) configuration with a 2.00mm pitch and two rows. Designed for vertical through-hole mounting, it utilizes male pins with a tin-plated contact surface finish. The housing is constructed from black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) reinforced with glass fiber, rated UL94 V-0 for flammability. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and supports board-to-board or cable applications.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Vertical through-hole mounting style for direct PCB integration
• Male pin contacts with tin plating for reliable signal transmission
• Glass-fiber reinforced PPS insulation ensuring high thermal stability
• Shrouded design providing mechanical protection and alignment

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Cable-to-board connections
• General electronic equipment
• Industrial control systems

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official Harwin documentation to confirm the tin-plated contact finish and absence of a keying slot (WOJS). Ensure compatibility with mating female sockets in the same Datamate J-Tek series. Confirm that the vertical orientation and 3mm tail length meet the assembly requirements. Cross-reference the UL94 V-0 rating and material specifications for environmental compliance.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, shrouded header with male contacts is required for low-current signal applications. The tin plating offers cost-effective conductivity suitable for general-purpose use. Consider the 2.00mm pitch and 2-row layout for space-constrained designs. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with the system's thermal profile and that the through-hole termination method matches the manufacturing process.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This connector belongs to the Datamate J-Tek family, known for compact, high-density interconnect solutions. The M80-5012042 variant specifically addresses needs for vertical mounting with male pins. It complements other series components like sockets and cables, forming a complete ecosystem for modular electronic assemblies requiring reliable, small-form-factor connections.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Harwin Datamate J-Tek headers with matching 2.00mm pitch, 20 positions, and vertical through-hole mounting. Verify that alternative parts maintain the male pin configuration and tin plating if corrosion resistance is not critical. Ensure physical dimensions and shrouding match for direct replacement without PCB redesign.
