M80-5412442

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M80-5412442 is a Datamate J-Tek board connector from Harwin, designed for power-to-board applications. It features a male configuration with 12 positions arranged in a dual inline (DIL) format. The component utilizes a 2 mm pitch and employs gold-plated brass contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. It is constructed with a black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) housing and includes jackscrews for secure mechanical locking. The connector supports surface mount installation and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.
