M80-7042705

Overview

The M80-7042705 is a 27-position female socket assembly from the Harwin Datamate J-Tek series. It features a 2.00mm (0.079 inch) pitch and utilizes a three-row configuration for board-to-board or cable connections. The connector employs through-hole termination with gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. Designed for high-reliability environments, it incorporates jack screws for secure mating and includes a plastic hood kit for shielding and strain relief.

Feature Summary

• High-density interconnect capability via a three-row female socket design
• Secure mechanical locking using hex socket jack screws
• Durable construction with gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance
• Integrated plastic hood kit provides environmental protection and alignment

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust vibration resistance
• Medical equipment demanding high reliability and safety
• Automotive electronics operating in harsh thermal conditions
• Test and measurement instrumentation interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number corresponds to the complete assembly including the plastic hood kit and jack screws. Confirm that the three-row female socket configuration matches the mating header requirements. Ensure that the through-hole mounting style aligns with the target PCB layout and soldering process capabilities before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, secure connection is required for power or signal lines in demanding environments. The jack screw mechanism offers superior retention compared to standard latching systems. Consider the three-row layout for space-constrained applications needing maximum pin count within a limited footprint while maintaining structural integrity under mechanical stress.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Datamate J-Tek family, known for its four-finger contact technology which ensures consistent contact pressure. The series is engineered for extreme durability, supporting numerous mating cycles without performance degradation. It is widely used in sectors where connection failure is not an option, providing a stable interface between rigid boards and flexible cables.

Replacement Considerations

M80-7042705 is a specific assembly variant. Direct replacements must match the 27-position count, three-row arrangement, and jack screw locking mechanism. Generic female sockets without the integrated hood or locking hardware are not suitable substitutes due to differing mechanical retention and environmental protection levels.
