M80-5012642

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M80-5012642 is a Datamate J-Tek male header connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a vertical through-hole mounting style with 26 positions arranged in two rows. The mating pitch is 2.00mm (0.079 inches), and the row spacing is 3.00mm. The contacts are gold-plated phosphor bronze pins, while the tail pins are tin/lead plated. 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 a rated voltage of 120V.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Vertical board-to-board or cable connection capability with shrouded design
• Push-pull locking mechanism for secure engagement
• Keyed interface with mating flange for precise alignment
• High-temperature resistant PPS insulation material

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Automotive electronics modules
• Telecommunications equipment
• General-purpose PCB-to-PCB connections

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '42' confirms tin/lead plating on the tail pins, as other suffixes may indicate lead-free alternatives. Ensure compatibility with the corresponding female socket series, typically M80-4xxxxxx. Confirm that the 3mm tail length meets the required stack height constraints for the target assembly. Check RoHS compliance status if lead-free soldering processes are mandated by the end product specifications.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical male header with a 2-row configuration and 2mm pin spacing is required. The 3mm tail length distinguishes it from standard 2.5mm or 4mm variants. Consider the push-pull locking feature if vibration resistance is critical. Ensure the mating partner provides the necessary current rating, as the header itself is part of a system where contact current capacity depends on the paired socket and circuit load.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate J-Tek family, designed for high-density applications. It complements female sockets like the M80-4 series. The model number structure indicates the series (M80), type (5 for male header), row count (0 for 2 rows), position count (126 indicating 13+13=26 positions), and tail/plating characteristics. It is distinct from the L-Tek series which offers different locking mechanisms and orientations.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

• M80-5012642M (Lead-free variant)
• M80-5012642L (Lead-free tail plating)

Headers, Male Pins FAQ

What is the difference between the tail plating options for this connector?

The '42' suffix indicates tin/lead plating on the tail pins. For lead-free requirements, suffixes such as 'M' or 'L' may be used, depending on the specific manufacturer coding for the plating composition.

Does this connector include a mating flange?

Yes, the Datamate J-Tek male headers in this series typically include a mating flange to assist in aligning the connector during assembly with the corresponding female socket.
