M80-7532645

Overview

The M80-7532645 is a vertical board-to-board connector header from the Datamate L-Tek series by Harwin Inc. It features 26 positions in a dual-row configuration with a 2.00 mm (0.079 inch) mating pitch. Designed for through-hole mounting, it utilizes male pins with gold-plated contacts and a black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) insulator rated UL 94 V-0. The connector employs a friction latch locking mechanism and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, supporting a rated current of 3 A at 120 V.

Feature Summary

• Friction latch locking mechanism provides secure connection without separate screws
• Fully shrouded design ensures polarized mating and prevents pin damage
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• High-temperature PPS insulation supports demanding thermal environments

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-reliability interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment with space-constrained layouts
• Medical devices needing robust vibration-resistant connections
• Automotive electronics operating in extreme temperature ranges

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Harwin documentation to confirm contact plating thickness and material composition. Ensure compatibility with corresponding female connectors in the Datamate L-Tek family. Confirm that the friction latch style meets the mechanical retention requirements of the target assembly before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, vertically mounted header with integrated latching is required. The 2.00 mm pitch allows for dense circuit board layouts. Consider the 3 A current rating and 120 V voltage limit for electrical compliance. Verify that the through-hole termination method aligns with the manufacturing process capabilities of the printed circuit board.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek series, designed for applications where standard J-Tek connectors are unsuitable due to space or cost constraints. The L-Tek line offers a simplified locking mechanism compared to the screw-lock J-Tek variants. It maintains the same mating dimensions as the broader Datamate family, ensuring interchangeability in housing designs while offering a distinct mechanical engagement profile.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 26-position count, 2.00 mm pitch, and vertical orientation. Compatible alternatives include other Harwin Datamate L-Tek headers with identical pin counts. Cross-brand replacements require verification of mating interface geometry, latch force characteristics, and PCB footprint dimensions to ensure functional equivalence.
