M80-7810242

Overview

The M80-7810242 is a Datamate L-Tek header connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a vertical through-hole mounting style with 2 positions and a 2.00mm (0.079 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes male pins with gold contact finish, specifically 29.5µin (0.75µm) thickness. It includes a front latch mechanism for secure mating and is designed for board-to-board or cable applications within the specified environmental operating range.

Feature Summary

• Vertical through-hole mounting configuration
• Front latch locking mechanism
• Gold-plated male pin contacts

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnects
• Cable-to-board connections
• General electronic equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm current RoHS compliance status and material declarations. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required latch orientation and contact plating specifications for the target application environment. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against official distributor catalogs to confirm availability and lead times prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-pin-count, vertically oriented header with positive locking is required. Consider the 2.00mm pitch constraint and the mechanical profile of the front latch during PCB layout. Evaluate thermal requirements against the standard operating temperature range and ensure mating receptacles are compatible with the Datamate L-Tek series.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family from Harwin Inc., characterized by its compact form factor and robust locking mechanisms. The L-Tek series is distinct from the J-Tek line, often featuring different housing geometries and latch styles. This specific model represents a basic two-position variant suitable for simple signal or power distribution tasks where space is limited.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include other M80-78xxxxx models with varying pin counts. Verify compatibility with existing mating receptacles before substitution.
