M80-6811842

Overview

Harwin M80-6811842 is a Datamate L-Tek series receptacle connector featuring 18 positions (9+9 dual in-line) with a 2.00mm pitch. Designed for surface mount installation, it utilizes female socket contacts with gold plating and crimp termination for 24-28 AWG wires. The housing is constructed from black polyamide material, providing a compact solution for high-density board-to-wire interconnections.

Feature Summary

• Dual in-line configuration with 9+9 contact arrangement
• Surface mount technology for automated PCB assembly
• Gold-plated female socket contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Crimp termination method compatible with discrete wire harnesses

Applications

• High-density electronic module interconnects
• Automotive control unit wiring harnesses
• Industrial equipment signal distribution
• Telecommunications infrastructure connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact contact count and packaging quantity. Ensure compatibility with the mating Datamate male header series. Confirm that the surface mount footprint matches the target PCB design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile surface mount female connector is required for 2.00mm pitch applications. It is suitable for designs needing crimped wire termination rather than soldered pins. Consider the dual-row layout to maximize connection density within limited board space constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, which specializes in robust rectangular connectors for harsh environments. The L-Tek series distinguishes itself with a latched locking mechanism, ensuring secure engagement against vibration and shock compared to friction-fit alternatives.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Harwin Datamate L-Tek receptacles with identical 18-position counts and surface mount footprints. Verify that any alternative maintains the same 2.00mm pitch and female socket contact type to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
