M80-7630842

Overview

The M80-7630842 is a 4+4 position male connector from the Datamate L-Tek series, featuring a 2.00mm pitch and double in-line configuration. Designed for vertical panel installation, it utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating for reliable signal transmission. The housing is constructed from black PPS material, rated for operation between -55°C and +125°C. It supports board-to-board or wire-to-board applications with a current rating of 3A.

Feature Summary

• Vertical panel mount design with front latch mechanism
• Double in-line male contact configuration
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for conductivity
• High-temperature resistant PPS insulation material

Applications

• Industrial control systems
• Automotive electronics
• Military equipment interconnects
• General purpose circuit boards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm the presence and exact specifications of the front latch mechanism, as this feature distinguishes it from standard variants. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles within the Datamate L-Tek family. Confirm that the vertical orientation matches the mechanical constraints of the target panel installation site before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical mounting profile is required for space-constrained panels. The 2.00mm pitch allows for high density while maintaining robust mechanical stability. Consider the front latch feature if vibration resistance is critical. Ensure the mating connector supports the same 4+4 pin count and double in-line geometry to guarantee proper electrical engagement.

Part Context

This part belongs to Harwin's Datamate L-Tek series, known for its rugged performance in harsh environments. The L-Tek line offers various termination styles and orientations, including surface mount and through-hole options. This specific model represents the vertical variant, providing an alternative to horizontal headers for different assembly workflows.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Harwin Datamate L-Tek male connectors with identical 4+4 positioning and 2.00mm pitch. Verify that any replacement maintains the vertical orientation and front latch functionality if those features are essential for the application.
