M80-6811201

Overview

The M80-6811201 is a Datamate L-Tek series receptacle connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a 12-position configuration with a 2.00mm (0.079 inch) pitch across two rows. Designed for surface-mount installation, this component utilizes solder termination and gold-plated female sockets. The housing is black, and the connector supports discrete wire applications within the specified series parameters.

Feature Summary

• Datamate L-Tek series construction for reliable interconnect performance
• Surface-mount design optimized for automated PCB assembly processes
• Gold-plated female socket contacts ensure durable electrical connectivity

Applications

• General electronic equipment requiring compact board-to-board connections
• Industrial control systems utilizing surface-mount technology
• Consumer electronics assemblies needing high-density interconnects

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm exact pin count, termination style, and contact plating specifications against project requirements. Ensure compatibility with mating Datamate L-Tek headers. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to final procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, surface-mount female receptacle is required for high-density applications. The 2.00mm pitch allows for significant I/O density on limited board space. Verify that the mating header matches the L-Tek series locking mechanism and physical dimensions to ensure proper engagement.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for its robust latching system and compact form factor. The M80-6811201 specifically addresses needs for surface-mounted female connectors in modern electronics where space efficiency and secure mechanical retention are critical design constraints.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 12-position count, 2.00mm pitch, dual-row layout, and surface-mount termination. Verify that alternative components support the same mating interface and environmental ratings to maintain system integrity without redesigning the footprint.

FAQ

What is the contact material for the M80-6811201?

The contacts are made from phosphor bronze with a gold plating finish.

Is this connector suitable for wave soldering?

Yes, as a surface-mount device with solder termination, it is designed for standard SMT reflow or wave soldering processes.
