M80-6811801P

Overview

The M80-6811801P is a Datamate L-Tek series receptacle connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a dual in-line (DIL) configuration with 8+8 positions, totaling 16 contacts. The connector utilizes a 2 mm (0.079 inch) pitch and is designed for surface mount (SMD/SMT) installation. Contact materials consist of beryllium copper with gold plating to ensure reliable electrical performance. The housing is black and supports wire gauges ranging from 24 to 28 AWG. Rated for 3 A current and 120 V voltage, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual in-line socket assembly with 16 positions for high-density interconnects
• Surface mount termination style for automated PCB assembly
• Gold-plated beryllium copper contacts for corrosion resistance
• L-Tek series design with latching mechanism for secure mating

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust signal transmission
• Automotive electronics modules with space constraints
• Medical device instrumentation interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'P' against the official Harwin datasheet to confirm package or material variations. Ensure compatibility with mating pins from the same Datamate L-Tek family. Check RoHS compliance status via manufacturer documentation before integration. Confirm surface mount footprint dimensions match the design board layout to prevent assembly errors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-position DIL connector is required for surface mount applications. The 2 mm pitch allows for compact circuit board designs. Gold plating is suitable for environments where contact reliability is critical. Ensure the mating connector shares the same series and locking mechanism to maintain mechanical integrity during operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate Mix-Tek and L-Tek families, known for high-reliability interconnect solutions. The L-Tek variant typically offers enhanced durability compared to standard Mix-Tek connectors. Harwin Inc. specializes in miniature connectors for harsh environments. This specific model represents a female socket assembly designed for permanent board attachment.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include M80-6811805 and M80-6811842 from the same Datamate L-Tek series. Verify pin count and pitch consistency before substitution. Cross-model replacements may require mechanical adapter modifications. Consult Harwin engineering for equivalent parts if original supply is unavailable.
