M80-5101822

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M80-5101822 is a Datamate J-Tek series header connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a vertical through-hole mounting style with 18 positions arranged in a dual inline (DIL) configuration. The connector utilizes male pin contacts with a 2.00mm pitch and a 2.00mm row spacing. Designed for board-to-board or cable applications, it employs a threaded jackscrew locking mechanism for secure engagement. The housing is constructed from black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) reinforced with glass fiber, ensuring UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operation within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

• Housing made from glass-filled PPS for enhanced thermal stability
• Includes keying options to prevent misalignment during mating

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high reliability
• Automotive electronics under hood applications
• Military and aerospace equipment
• General purpose heavy-duty interconnects

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official Harwin datasheet to ensure correct contact plating thickness and housing color variants. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required jackscrew type and keying configuration for your assembly. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components. Ensure compatibility with corresponding female receptacles from the same Datamate J-Tek family.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a secure mechanical lock is required for signal integrity in harsh environments. The threaded locking mechanism offers superior retention compared to push-pull styles. Consider the 2.00mm pitch for dense board layouts. Verify that the current rating and voltage specifications meet the circuit requirements. Evaluate the operating temperature range to ensure suitability for the intended application environment.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate J-Tek family, known for high-reliability interconnect solutions. The series is designed for demanding applications involving shock, vibration, and acceleration. It supports various termination styles including surface mount and through-hole. The modular design allows for mixing different contact types and row configurations within the same housing system.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 2.00mm pitch, 18-position DIL format, and threaded locking mechanism. Verify identical housing material properties and contact plating specifications. Check for compatible mating receptacles within the same product line. Generic connectors may not provide the same level of environmental sealing or mechanical retention.
