M80-6811601

Overview

The M80-6811601 is a Datamate L-Tek series connector assembly manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a 16-position (8+8) dual in-line configuration with a 2.00mm pitch. Designed for surface mount technology, this female socket assembly utilizes solder termination and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The component is constructed with a black polyamide housing and brass contacts.

Feature Summary

• Vertical surface mount design for automated PCB assembly
• Dual row female socket configuration for mating compatibility
• Polyamide insulation material providing thermal stability
• Solder termination ensuring reliable electrical connection

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Automotive electronics applications
• Military and defense equipment
• General purpose board-to-board or cable connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the current lifecycle status as the component may be obsolete. Confirm that the vertical orientation and SMT footprint match the target PCB layout. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation for the polyamide housing and contact materials before finalizing acquisition.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a vertical surface mount female connector is required for high-density layouts. Compare against the M80-6811645 variant which offers horizontal mounting options. Validate that the 2.00mm pitch aligns with the mating header specifications and that the operating temperature range meets environmental requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Datamate Mix-Tek and L-Tek families from Harwin Inc., known for high-reliability interconnect solutions. The M80-6811601 specifically addresses needs for compact, vertically mounted connectors in space-constrained electronic assemblies where surface mount processing is preferred over through-hole methods.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with mating headers such as the M80-8531642 series if cross-referencing is necessary.
