M80-6811042P

Overview

The Harwin M80-6811042P is a 10-position receptacle connector from the Datamate L-Tek series, designed for board-to-board or cable-to-board applications. It features a 2-row configuration with a 2.00mm (0.079 inch) mating pitch and row spacing. The unit utilizes gold-plated female sockets mounted via surface-mount technology (SMD/SMT). Key specifications include a rated voltage of 120V and an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The housing is black, constructed from polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) reinforced with glass fiber, ensuring UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Feature Summary

• Features fully shrouded contacts to ensure precise alignment and protection during mating cycles.
• Incorporates polarized mouldings to prevent incorrect insertion and ensure secure connection integrity.
• Designed for high-reliability environments with durable four-finger beryllium copper contact systems.

Applications

• Automotive electronic systems
• General industrial equipment
• Military and defense electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'P' denotes the inclusion of optional pick-and-place pads, as this affects assembly compatibility. Confirm tape and reel availability directly with the manufacturer if automated surface-mount production is required, as standard packaging may differ. Ensure the selected variant matches the intended SMT reflow profile requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when surface-mount installation is mandatory for 10-position interconnects requiring robust mechanical retention. The L-Tek series offers latch options; verify if the base receptacle requires a separate male header with friction latch or screw lock mechanisms. Consider the thermal limits of the PPS material against the specific soldering process temperatures used in the manufacturing line.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, which provides high-density interconnect solutions. The M80-6811042P specifically serves as the female counterpart to various male headers within the same series. It is engineered for applications demanding high durability under shock, vibration, and acceleration loads, maintaining performance over numerous mating cycles.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible mating partners include male headers such as the M80-8631042. Verify pin count and row alignment when substituting with other L-Tek receptacles to maintain electrical continuity and mechanical fit.
