M80-5T12042MC

Overview

The Harwin M80-5T12042MC is a vertical board-to-board or wire-to-board header from the Datamate J-Tek series. It features a 2mm pitch with 20 contacts arranged in a double row (10+10). The connector utilizes through-hole termination for secure PCB mounting. Contact surfaces are gold-plated for reliable signal integrity, while pins are tin-plated. Constructed with glass-filled PPS insulation rated UL94 V-0, it supports a maximum current of 2.2A at 120V. The design includes push-turn locking mechanisms and keying options to ensure precise alignment and secure mating.

Feature Summary

• Push-turn locking mechanism ensures secure connection without tools
• Gold-plated contact areas provide high reliability for power transfer
• Glass-filled PPS insulation offers thermal stability and flame resistance
• Keying and flange options allow for precise alignment during assembly

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust power distribution
• Medical equipment needing reliable interconnects
• Automotive electronics with strict environmental standards
• Telecommunications infrastructure hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official Harwin datasheet to confirm pin count, orientation, and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating sockets from the same Datamate J-Tek family. Check for updated RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, double-row header with push-turn locking is required. The 2mm pitch suits dense board layouts. Verify that the 2.2A current rating meets system power requirements. Consider the through-hole installation method and available stacking heights. Confirm that the black insulator color and UL94 V-0 rating align with project specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate J-Tek family, known for tool-free assembly and high reliability. The M80-5T series specifically addresses power-to-board applications. It complements other connectors in the range by offering versatile mounting options and robust mechanical performance for demanding environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Harwin Datamate J-Tek headers with identical 20-pin, 2mm pitch, and vertical orientation. Verify matching locking mechanisms and contact configurations before substitution.
