M80-6810842

Overview

The M80-6810842 is a Datamate L-Tek series surface mount receptacle connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features an 8-position dual in-line (DIL) configuration with a 2.00mm (0.079 inch) pin-to-pin spacing and row-to-row pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for reliable signal transmission. Designed for harsh environments, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and meets rigorous mechanical standards, including resistance to 100G shock, 40G bump, and 10G vibration. The housing is constructed from black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) material.

Feature Summary

• High reliability four-finger beryllium copper contact design ensures connection integrity under extreme vibration and shock conditions.
• Surface mount termination style facilitates automated PCB assembly processes.
• Robust PPS housing provides durability and thermal stability for demanding operational environments.

Applications

• Automotive electronics systems
• Military and defense equipment
• General industrial control applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and plating thickness against the official datasheet to ensure compatibility with mating connectors. Confirm that the surface mount footprint matches the target PCB design. Check current availability status as lead times may vary. Ensure compliance with relevant environmental regulations such as RoHS and REACH requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-density interconnects are required in space-constrained designs. The 2.00mm pitch offers a balance between pin count and board space. Consider the surface mount profile for low-profile applications. Evaluate the operating temperature range to ensure suitability for the intended environment. Verify mating connector compatibility within the Datamate L-Tek family.
