M80-7712642

Overview

The M80-7712642 is a Datamate L-Tek male header connector manufactured by Harwin. It features a 2-row, double in-line (DIL) configuration with 13+13 positions, totaling 26 contacts. The connector utilizes a 2mm pitch and is designed for horizontal mounting with a 4.5mm tail length. It incorporates a locking latch mechanism for secure mating. The contacts are tin-plated phosphor bronze, while the housing is constructed from black PPS material rated UL94 V-0. This component supports board-to-board and wire-to-board applications.

Feature Summary

• Double in-line male header design with integrated locking latch
• Horizontal orientation with extended 4.5mm tail for strain relief
• Tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts for reliable conductivity
• High-temperature resistant PPS housing with UL94 V-0 flammability rating

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Automotive electronics harnesses
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Consumer appliance mainboards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Harwin documentation to confirm contact plating and housing material variations. Ensure the selected variant matches the required latch type and tail length for your PCB layout. Cross-reference the datasheet for environmental ratings and mating cycle specifications before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this connector when a horizontal DIL male header with a locking mechanism is required. The 2mm pitch suits high-density layouts. Verify that the 4.5mm tail accommodates your cable routing or board clearance needs. Ensure compatibility with corresponding female sockets from the same Datamate L-Tek series for proper engagement.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Harwin Datamate L-Tek family, known for high-reliability interconnect solutions. The M80 series offers various configurations including vertical and horizontal headers, sockets, and housings. The L-Tek line specifically emphasizes durability and performance in demanding environments, supporting both signal and power applications within the same modular ecosystem.

Replacement Considerations

M80-8520642 is listed as a potential substitute. Verify mechanical dimensions, pin count, and electrical ratings before substitution. Ensure the replacement maintains the same latch mechanism and tail length requirements for your assembly.
