M80-6660842

Overview

The M80-6660842 is a Datamate L-Tek header connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features an 8-position (4+4) configuration with a 2.00mm pitch and 2 rows. Designed for surface mount installation at a right angle, it utilizes male pin contacts made of brass with gold plating. The housing is constructed from black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), offering UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and supports a voltage rating of 800V.

Feature Summary

• Four-wall shrouded design provides mechanical stability and alignment during mating.
• Locking latch mechanism ensures secure connection retention between header and socket.
• Surface mount termination facilitates automated PCB assembly processes.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connections
• Automotive electronics modules demanding high vibration resistance
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating thickness and material composition. Ensure compatibility with mating sockets from the same Datamate L-Tek series. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation before integration into regulated assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications necessitating a right-angle surface mount interface with positive locking capabilities. Evaluate the 800V rating against system requirements. Consider the PPS housing material for thermal stability in high-temperature environments compared to standard thermoplastics.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for compact interconnect solutions. It complements female socket connectors and cable kits within the same ecosystem. The series emphasizes durability and precise alignment for dense electronic packaging needs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Harwin Datamate L-Tek headers with identical 8-position, right-angle SMT configurations and matching latch mechanisms. Verify that alternative part numbers maintain the same 2.00mm pitch and four-wall shroud geometry for interchangeability.
