M80-6170642

Overview

The M80-6170642 is a Datamate J-Tek male plug connector from Harwin Inc., designed for vertical surface-mount technology (SMT) applications. It features a double-row configuration with six contacts arranged in a 3+3 layout. The component utilizes internally threaded jackscrews for secure mating and includes a friction latch mechanism to ensure stable connection retention during operation.

Feature Summary

• Vertical SMT mounting design for direct board integration
• Double-row contact arrangement providing compact interconnect density
• Integrated friction latch system for reliable mechanical engagement

Applications

• Compact electronic device interconnections
• Industrial testing and measurement equipment
• Automotive control modules requiring robust surface-mount headers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and manufacturing date code upon procurement. Confirm that the internal threading specification matches the mating receptacle requirements. Ensure storage conditions comply with moisture sensitivity level guidelines to maintain solderability and mechanical integrity of the jackscruw threads prior to assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, surface-mount male header with integrated latching is required. The double-row format supports higher pin counts within a minimal footprint compared to single-row alternatives. Verify compatibility with mating female receptacles featuring floating or fixed jackscrew mechanisms to ensure proper torque application and alignment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Harwin Datamate J-Tek family, specifically the M80 series. These connectors are engineered for high-reliability applications where space constraints and vibration resistance are critical. The series offers various configurations including through-hole and cable options, but this specific model is optimized for vertical PCB mounting.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 6-pin (3+3) double-row SMT form factor and internal thread specifications. Cross-reference with other Harwin M80 series variants only if they share identical stacking heights and latch mechanisms. Generic equivalents may lack the specific friction latch performance.
