M80-5T11842ME

Overview

The M80-5T11842ME is a male header connector from the Harwin Datamate J-Tek series, designed for vertical through-board mounting. It features a 26-position configuration (13+13) with a 2mm mating pitch and 2mm row spacing. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating on the mating interface and tin plating on the tail. Rated for 2.2A at 120V, it employs a push-turn locking mechanism and includes keying slots and mating flanges. The housing is black, glass-filled PPS, rated UL94 V-0, operating between -55°C and 121°C.

Feature Summary

• Push-turn locking mechanism ensures secure connection retention
• Keyed design prevents incorrect mating orientation
• Vertical through-hole termination for board-to-board applications
• Gold-plated contacts provide reliable signal transmission

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Medical equipment needing high reliability connectors
• Automotive electronics utilizing space-constrained designs
• Test and measurement instrumentation interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm exact contact length, insulation height, and packaging quantity. Ensure compatibility with the corresponding female socket counterpart within the Datamate J-Tek family. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors prior to ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical male header with push-turn locking is required for 2mm pitch applications. Consider the 26-position count and 2.2A current rating for circuit requirements. Verify that the PCB layout accommodates the specified insulation height and that mating flanges are compatible with the enclosure design.

Part Context

Part of the Datamate J-Tek series, known for compact size and high density. Designed for harsh environments with wide temperature tolerance. Complements female sockets in the same series for complete interconnect solutions. Widely used in applications demanding secure, vibration-resistant connections.

Replacement Considerations

M80-5T11842MC: Similar male header but may differ in packaging or minor mechanical dimensions. Verify pin count, pitch, and locking mechanism compatibility before substitution. Consult Harwin datasheets for detailed dimensional comparisons.
