M80-5L11642MC

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The M80-5L11642MC is a Datamate J-Tek male header connector featuring 16 positions (8+8) in a double-row configuration. It utilizes a 2.00mm pitch and is designed for vertical through-hole mounting with 3.00mm PCB termination length. The housing is constructed from black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) reinforced with glass fiber, rated UL94 V-0. Contacts are made of beryllium copper with gold plating on the mating interface and tin plating on the tail. It employs a push-turn locking mechanism and includes keying and flange features for secure board-to-board or cable connections.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• High-reliability four-finger beryllium copper contact technology ensures connection integrity without signal loss
• Push-turn locking mechanism provides secure mechanical retention between mating pairs
• Polyphenylene sulfide insulation offers high thermal stability and UL94 V-0 flame rating
• Integrated keying and flange design prevents misalignment during assembly

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnects requiring robust mechanical locking
• Industrial control systems with high vibration exposure
• Medical equipment demanding reliable signal transmission
• Automotive electronics applications

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm pin count, row configuration, and termination style. Ensure compatibility with the corresponding female socket series, such as M80-4L116xxFC. Confirm that the required locking mechanism type matches the system design constraints. Check for any environmental certifications if operating in harsh conditions. Validate the PCB footprint dimensions against the official datasheet drawing before finalizing the design.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical male header with a 2.00mm pitch is required. The 3.00mm tail length suits standard PCB thicknesses. Choose this model over right-angle variants if space allows for vertical orientation. Consider the beryllium copper contacts for superior spring properties compared to phosphor bronze alternatives. Ensure the mating connector supports the push-turn locking feature for secure attachment.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Harwin Datamate J-Tek family, known for compact rectangular connectors. The M80-5L prefix indicates a male header with right-angle termination characteristics in some contexts, but specifically here denotes the vertical variant with 3mm tails. It is designed for high-density applications where space efficiency and reliability are critical. The series supports various pin counts and locking options.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

M80-5T11642MC is a parameter-equivalent alternative within the same series. Verify that the tail length and locking mechanism are compatible with the existing PCB layout and enclosure design. Cross-check the mating connector specifications to ensure proper engagement.
