M80-7520242

Overview

The M80-7520242 is a vertical male header connector from the Datamate L-Tek series by Harwin Inc. It features a 2-position configuration with a 2.00mm (0.079 inch) mating pitch. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating for mating surfaces and tin-lead plating for tails. Designed for through-hole mounting, it supports a rated current of 2.2A and a voltage of 120V. The housing is constructed from black polyamide (PA46/Nylon 4/6) with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Operating temperature ranges from -55°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• Vertical board-to-board or cable interconnect design
• Shrouded four-wall housing for alignment and protection
• Latch bracket locking mechanism for secure engagement
• Gold-plated circular contact geometry

Applications

• Low-power signal transmission in industrial equipment
• Internal board-to-board connections in consumer electronics
• Control panel wiring harnesses
• General-purpose electronic assemblies requiring reliable signal integrity

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Harwin distributors or certified partners. Confirm that the specific lot matches the required RoHS exemption status, as this model may not comply with current RoHS directives depending on manufacturing date. Request official datasheets and material declarations to ensure compliance with project specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this connector when a low-pin-count, vertically oriented header is required for space-constrained designs. Ensure compatibility with the corresponding Datamate L-Tek female socket. Consider the latch bracket requirement for mating assembly. Verify that the 2.2A current rating and 120V voltage limit meet the circuit requirements. Check if lead-free alternatives are necessary for environmental compliance.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, characterized by its robust mechanical locking system and high-density capabilities within a small footprint. Unlike the J-Tek series which often uses push-pull locking, the L-Tek series employs a distinct latch bracket mechanism. This specific part represents a basic two-position variant suitable for simple signal routing where secure mechanical retention is prioritized over rapid mating cycles.

FAQ

Is the M80-7520242 RoHS compliant?

No, this specific part number is generally not RoHS compliant due to the use of tin-lead plated tails. Verify the specific manufacturer declaration for the production batch.

What type of locking mechanism does this connector use?

It uses a latch bracket locking system, which requires a separate plastic or metal bracket to secure the mated connection.
