M80-6811801

Overview

The M80-6811801 is an 18-position female receptacle connector from the Datamate L-Tek series by Harwin Inc. It features a 2 mm (0.079 inch) pitch and a dual in-line (DIL) configuration with two rows of contacts. The component utilizes vertical surface-mount technology for PCB installation, employing solder termination. Contacts are gold-plated to ensure reliable signal transmission. The housing is black, and the connector is designed for free-hanging or panel mounting applications within electronic assemblies.

Feature Summary

• Dual in-line female socket assembly with gold-plated contacts
• Vertical surface-mount termination for direct PCB integration
• Datamate L-Tek series design ensuring secure mating engagement

Applications

• General electronic interconnect systems
• Industrial control board connections
• Automotive electronics harnesses

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and pin count against the official datasheet to ensure compatibility with mating headers. Confirm surface-mount footprint dimensions and soldering profile requirements prior to procurement. Check for RoHS compliance status in the latest documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, vertically mounted female connector is required for high-density applications. Ensure the mating header matches the 2 mm pitch and DIL configuration. Consider thermal management during soldering due to the surface-mount construction.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, which offers robust rectangular connectors for demanding environments. The L-Tek series is characterized by its mixed-signal capabilities and secure latching mechanisms, suitable for both signal and power applications in compact form factors.

Replacement Considerations

M80-6811801P is listed as a related variant. Verify if the 'P' suffix indicates a specific packaging or material difference that affects interchangeability before substitution.
