M80-5120842

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M80-5120842 is a Datamate J-Tek male header connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a 2-row configuration with 8 positions per row, totaling 16 contacts. The connector utilizes a 2.00 mm (0.079 inch) mating pitch and a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) 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 selective gold plating on the mating interface and tin plating on the tail. It supports a current rating of 2.2A and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Datamate J-Tek series design provides secure latching and keying capabilities for reliable board-to-board or cable connections.
• Selective gold plating on contact interfaces ensures low contact resistance and corrosion resistance in mating zones.
• Shrouded four-wall housing design protects contacts during insertion and prevents misalignment.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Automotive electronics modules

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official Harwin datasheet to confirm exact pin count, plating thickness, and locking mechanism variations. Ensure compatibility with mating sockets from the same Datamate J-Tek family. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Confirm that the through-hole footprint matches the target PCB layout dimensions.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-position vertical header with 2.00mm pitch is required. Consider the 2.2A current rating and 125°C maximum operating temperature for thermal management. Evaluate the need for shrouded protection and keyed alignment features. Compare against other Datamate variants if different row spacings or mounting styles are needed.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate J-Tek family, known for high-density interconnect solutions. It serves as a male header variant within the broader M80 series portfolio. The connector is designed for applications demanding high reliability and compact form factors in electronic assemblies.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible mating connectors include female sockets from the Datamate J-Tek series with matching 2.00mm pitch and 16-position configurations. Verify mechanical compatibility with existing panel cutouts and PCB footprints before substitution.
