M80-6810845P

Overview

The M80-6810845P is a Datamate L-Tek header connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a 2-row, 8-position (4+4) configuration with a 2.00 mm pitch. Designed for surface mount installation, it utilizes vertical solder termination. The contacts are female sockets with gold plating and include an integrated latch mechanism for secure mating. This component belongs to the high-reliability Datamate series.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a latching mechanism for positive retention during mating cycles
• Employs four-finger contact design for enhanced vibration resistance
• Supports surface mount technology for automated PCB assembly

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Automotive electronics subject to high vibration
• Medical equipment demanding reliable signal transmission
• Aerospace and defense communication modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'P' against the official Harwin datasheet to confirm if it denotes a particular packaging variant or material specification distinct from the standard M80-6810845. Ensure compatibility with mating plugs from the same Datamate L-Tek series. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's documentation prior to integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a surface-mount solution with mechanical locking is required. The 2mm pitch allows for dense board layouts. Verify that the PCB footprint matches the SMD termination style. Consider the operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C for environmental suitability.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for high reliability in harsh environments. The series uses beryllium copper contacts for durability. The M80 prefix indicates the specific product line within Harwin's connector portfolio, designed for applications needing repeated mating cycles without performance degradation.

Replacement Considerations

M80-6810845 is the base model; verify if the 'P' suffix implies a specific tray or bulk packaging difference rather than a functional change. No direct cross-manufacturer substitutes are officially documented for this proprietary locking interface.
