M80-6661842

Overview

The M80-6661842 is a Datamate L-Tek male header assembly manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a 2x9 pin configuration with a 2.00mm pitch, designed for surface mount right-angle installation. The connector utilizes brass contacts with gold plating and a PPS insulator rated for -55°C to +125°C. Electrical ratings include 2.2A current and 800V voltage. It employs a latch locking mechanism and includes stress relief features for board-to-board or cable applications.

Feature Summary

• Datamate L-Tek series interconnect system
• Surface mount right-angle termination
• Latch locking mechanical retention
• Gold-plated brass contact construction

Applications

• Board-to-board connections
• Cable-to-board assemblies
• Industrial control systems
• Automotive electronics interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact pin count and orientation. Ensure compatibility with mating socket components within the same Datamate L-Tek family. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material declarations prior to final procurement approval.

Selection Notes

Select this component for high-density SMT layouts requiring robust mechanical latching. The 2.00mm pitch supports moderate current loads suitable for signal and low-power distribution. Validate thermal resistance profiles against peak operating temperatures in enclosed environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for compact rectangular connectors. It serves as a male header variant within the M80-666 base product line. The design emphasizes reliable electrical performance in space-constrained electronic assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 2x9 pin count, 2.00mm pitch, and SMT right-angle form factor. Verify identical latch mechanisms and contact plating specifications to ensure interchangeability without redesigning the PCB footprint.
