M80-6661622

Overview

The M80-6661622 is a Datamate L-Tek male connector assembly manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a 16-position configuration with a 2.00mm pitch across two rows. Designed for surface mount technology, it utilizes horizontal orientation and includes integrated latches for secure mating. The contacts are constructed from beryllium copper with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• High-reliability four-finger beryllium copper contact technology ensures connection integrity without loss
• Integrated latch mechanism provides secure mating retention
• Horizontal surface mount design facilitates compact PCB integration

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Automotive electronics applications
• General purpose board-to-board or wire-to-board connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for precise mechanical dimensions and soldering profile requirements. Confirm that the horizontal SMT orientation aligns with your PCB layout constraints. Ensure compatibility with corresponding female receptacles within the Datamate L-Tek series for proper latch engagement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, horizontally mounted male header with positive locking is required. The Datamate L-Tek series offers mixed contact options; verify that the male pin configuration matches your mating socket requirements. Consider thermal management during reflow soldering due to the SMT package type.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for its modular design and high reliability. The M80-666 prefix indicates a standard L-Tek male assembly. The suffix specifies the position count and termination style, distinguishing it from vertical or crimp variants within the same product line.

Replacement Considerations

M80-6661642 is a parameter-equivalent alternative within the same series. Verify pin count and latch presence before substitution. Cross-series replacements require careful evaluation of mating interface geometry and electrical ratings.
