M80-5512042

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M80-5512042 is a Datamate J-Tek power-to-board header manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a 12-position, two-row configuration with male pin contacts. The connector utilizes a 2 mm pitch and is designed for surface mount (SMD/SMT) installation with solder termination. Constructed with phosphor bronze contacts plated in gold and a black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) housing, it supports a current rating of 3 A and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• High-density power distribution via compact 2 mm pitch design
• Robust electrical contact integrity through gold-plated phosphor bronze pins
• Thermal stability ensured by PPS housing material rated for extreme temperatures

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Power supply unit interconnections
• Embedded system board-to-board connections
• Automotive electronic control units

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official Harwin datasheet to confirm exact tail length, keying options, and plating thickness. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles from the same Datamate J-Tek series. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors prior to ordering.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when high-current density is required in a small footprint. The SMT mounting style suits automated assembly processes. Verify that the 3 A current rating meets circuit requirements and that the operating temperature range aligns with the environmental conditions of the target application.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate J-Tek family, known for its modular design and high reliability. The M80 series is widely used in industrial and automotive sectors where space constraints and thermal performance are critical. It offers various configurations including different tail lengths and keying options for precise alignment.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Harwin M80 series headers with matching 12-position, 2-row, SMT specifications. Ensure any replacement maintains the 2 mm pitch and compatible mating interface. Generic connectors may not provide equivalent current handling or thermal stability.
