M80-5501042

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M80-5501042 is a 10-position male header connector from the Datamate J-Tek series by Harwin Inc. It features a 2-row vertical through-hole design with a 2.00mm (0.079") pitch. The contacts are made of phosphor bronze with gold plating, housed in black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) insulation rated UL94 V-0. Rated for 120V and -55°C to +125°C, it utilizes four-finger beryllium copper contacts for high reliability.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Polarized molded housing prevents mating errors and misalignment
• Fully shrouded contacts provide protection against contamination and physical damage

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Automotive electronic systems
• Military equipment interconnects
• General industrial control boards

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code to confirm orientation and tail length specifications. Ensure compatibility with the corresponding female receptacle within the same Datamate J-Tek series. Confirm that the operating environment temperature range aligns with the component's specified limits before integration.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring robust mechanical retention and polarized mating. Consider the vertical profile for board-to-board stacking. Verify that the current rating requirements do not exceed the connector's capacity when multiple pins are loaded simultaneously.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the Datamate J-Tek family, designed for harsh environments. It offers high durability and resistance to shock and acceleration. The series is known for maintaining performance over high mating cycles, making it suitable for critical safety applications.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations
