M80-6662642

Overview

The M80-6662642 is a Datamate L-Tek male header assembly manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a 26-position configuration arranged in two rows of thirteen contacts each, with a 2 mm pitch. Designed for surface mount technology, this right-angle connector utilizes gold-plated brass contacts and tin-plated termination tails. The housing is constructed from black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) reinforced with glass fiber, ensuring UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. It incorporates a latching mechanism for secure mating and includes an integrated stress relief clamp to protect the solder joints during mechanical strain.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a positive latching mechanism to ensure secure board-to-board or wire-to-board connections
• Features an integrated stress relief clamp to reinforce solder joints against mechanical stress
• Utilizes gold-plated brass contacts for reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance
• Constructed with high-temperature resistant PPS insulation suitable for reflow soldering processes

Applications

• High-density electronic assemblies requiring robust mechanical retention
• Industrial control systems operating within extreme temperature ranges
• Automotive electronics demanding reliable interconnect solutions
• Medical devices requiring sterilization-compatible connector interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact plating and termination style. Confirm the package quantity aligns with production requirements. Ensure compatibility with mating female connectors from the same Datamate L-Tek series. Check for any recent product change notices affecting material composition or dimensions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a horizontal surface mount header with mechanical locking is required. The 2 mm pitch allows for compact circuit board layouts. The combination of gold contacts and tin tails supports standard lead-free manufacturing processes. Consider the thermal stability of the PPS material for high-temperature environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for its high-reliability interconnect solutions. The series offers various configurations including vertical and horizontal orientations. The M80-6662642 specifically addresses applications needing a latched, surface-mountable male header with a 26-contact capacity.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Harwin Datamate L-Tek headers with identical 26-position, 2-row, SMD, right-angle specifications. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same latching mechanism and contact plating specifications to ensure functional equivalence.
