M80-5T10842ME

Overview

The M80-5T10842ME is a Datamate J-Tek male plug connector featuring 8 contacts arranged in a double-row configuration. It utilizes a 2.00mm pitch with vertical through-hole termination for board-to-board or cable applications. The housing is constructed from black glass-filled polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) rated UL94 V-0. Contacts are made of phosphor bronze with gold plating on the mating interface and tin on the termination pins. It supports a maximum current of 2.2A and withstands voltages up to 800V AC/DC across an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• Vertical straight design with 3.30mm contact length for reliable PCB insertion
• Integrated locking mechanism utilizing slotted nuts for secure mechanical retention
• Shielded four-wall construction to protect against electromagnetic interference
• High-temperature resistant PPS insulator suitable for harsh industrial environments

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust signal transmission
• Automotive electronics modules demanding high vibration resistance
• Medical equipment interfaces needing reliable connectivity
• Telecommunications hardware utilizing standard board-to-board connections

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order includes the required M80-2130000B slotted nuts, as these are essential for the locking mechanism but may be supplied separately depending on the distributor configuration. Confirm compliance with RoHS standards and check for any specific handling requirements regarding the gold-plated contacts during storage and installation to maintain optimal electrical performance.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical male header with a 2.00mm pitch is required for double-row applications. Ensure the mating receptacle matches the female counterpart specifications. Consider the 7.3mm or 7.8mm stacking height requirements for your assembly. Verify that the 2.2A current rating aligns with the circuit load and that the operating temperature range covers the environmental conditions of the final application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Harwin Datamate J-Tek series, known for its compact size and high-density interconnect capabilities. The M80-5 series specifically denotes male plugs designed for vertical mounting. This family offers various contact counts and termination styles, providing flexibility for diverse electronic packaging needs while maintaining consistent mechanical and electrical performance standards across the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include M80-5T10842M3. Cross-series replacements require careful verification of pitch, contact count, and mechanical dimensions to ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mating connectors.
