M80-7712045

Overview

The M80-7712045 is a Datamate L-Tek series connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a 20-position female socket configuration with a 2.00mm (0.079 inch) pin spacing. Designed for wire-to-wire or PCB applications, it utilizes a crimp termination method suitable for discrete wires. The contacts are gold-plated beryllium copper, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments. Rated at 3A per contact and 120V, the connector operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The housing is black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), providing high thermal stability and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Feature Summary

• High-reliability four-finger beryllium copper contacts ensure secure connection integrity under vibration and shock.
• Gold-plated contact surfaces provide excellent corrosion resistance and low contact impedance.
• Polyphenylene sulfide insulation offers superior thermal stability and flame retardancy.
• Compatible with standard Datamate mating systems for versatile interconnection solutions.

Applications

• Automotive electronic systems requiring robust vibration resistance
• Industrial control equipment operating in harsh environmental conditions
• Military and aerospace applications demanding high reliability
• General purpose electronics needing stable signal transmission

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating thickness and housing material variations. Ensure compatibility with corresponding male pins from the Datamate L-Tek series. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Confirm that the crimp tooling matches the specified wire gauge range for proper termination. Review datasheet for mating force and retention force requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20-position female connector is needed for wire-to-board connections. Consider the 2.00mm pitch for space-constrained designs requiring high density. Choose based on the requirement for gold-plated contacts to minimize oxidation risks. Evaluate the -55°C to +125°C operating range against environmental conditions. Ensure the crimp termination method aligns with available assembly tools and processes.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for its durability and high-cycle life. The M80-771 base number indicates a specific row and position configuration within the broader M80 series. It complements male header counterparts like the M80-7712042 series. The design supports both free-hanging and panel mount installations depending on the accessory usage.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Harwin Datamate L-Tek connectors with identical 20-position female configurations and 2.00mm pitch. Verify mechanical dimensions and mating interface compatibility before substitution. Cross-reference with M80-771 series variants for equivalent electrical ratings and termination types.
