M80-7820342

Overview

The Harwin M80-7820342 is a Datamate L-Tek series header connector designed for through-hole PCB mounting. It features a single row with three positions and a 2.00mm (0.079 inch) pin spacing. The connector utilizes male pins with gold plating on phosphor bronze contacts, rated for 120V and 3A. The housing is constructed from black Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), providing UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and includes a 4.5mm tail length for secure board attachment.

Feature Summary

• Single-row male pin configuration for direct PCB integration
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts ensure reliable conductivity
• Polyphenylene Sulfide housing offers high thermal stability
• Through-hole termination supports robust mechanical fixation

Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Consumer electronics internal wiring
• Instrumentation signal routing
• General-purpose board-to-board connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and RoHS compliance status prior to ordering, as manufacturing specifications may evolve. Confirm that the 4.5mm tail length aligns with your PCB thickness and soldering profile requirements. Ensure mating connectors are selected from the compatible Datamate L-Tek female socket series to guarantee proper interface alignment and electrical continuity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, low-pin-count connection is required for space-constrained designs. The 2.00mm pitch balances density with ease of manual assembly. Consider the 4.5mm tail length for adequate solder joint formation. This part is suitable for applications requiring moderate current carrying capacity and standard operating temperatures without the need for locking mechanisms or shrouded housings.

Part Context

This connector belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, which focuses on cost-effective, high-volume interconnect solutions. Unlike the J-Tek or Mix-Tek variants, the L-Tek series typically omits jackscrews and latches, relying on friction fit and PCB retention. It serves as a fundamental building block for simple signal distribution in compact electronic assemblies where high-density multi-row connectors are unnecessary.
