M80-7710842

Overview

The M80-7710842 is a male header connector from the Datamate L-Tek series by Harwin Inc. It features an 8-position (4+4) dual in-line configuration with a 2.00mm pitch. Designed for horizontal mounting, it utilizes a latch lock mechanism and includes strain relief clips. The contacts are gold-plated phosphor bronze pins rated for 2.2A current, operating within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Horizontal orientation with integrated latch lock for secure mating
• Built-in strain relief clips to protect cable connections
• High-reliability four-finger beryllium copper contact design
• Gold-plated contacts ensuring stable signal transmission

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust vibration resistance
• Automotive electronics subject to shock and acceleration
• Harsh environment equipment demanding high connection integrity
• Safety-critical applications needing durable interconnects

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Harwin documentation to ensure correct housing color and locking style. Confirm that the required mating sockets match the Datamate Mix-Tek or L-Tek specifications. Check for updated environmental compliance declarations such as RoHS status before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a horizontal male header with mechanical latching is required. Ensure the application environment falls within the specified temperature limits. Verify that the wire gauge accommodates the crimp terminals. Consider the stacking height requirements if multiple connectors are used in parallel configurations.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for durability in high-load scenarios. It complements female socket counterparts like the M80-4 series. The design supports both board-to-board and wire-to-board connections, offering versatility in system integration while maintaining high cycle life performance.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Harwin Datamate L-Tek male headers with identical 8-position counts and horizontal locking features. Cross-series replacements may require adapter solutions. Verify pin pitch and housing dimensions to ensure mechanical compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mating interfaces.
