M80-8191205

Overview

The M80-8191205 is a 12-position rectangular header connector from the Harwin Datamate L-Tek series. It features a 2.00mm (0.079 inch) pitch and is designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. The connector utilizes male pins with gold plating for reliable signal transmission. It is configured as a double-row assembly, providing high-density connectivity in a compact form factor suitable for various electronic applications requiring robust interconnection.

Feature Summary

• Datamate L-Tek series design ensures high reliability under vibration and shock
• Gold-plated contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable electrical performance
• Through-hole termination method secures connection to the PCB
• Latched housing design prevents accidental disengagement during operation

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring durable connectors
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces
• Automotive electronics assemblies
• Medical device internal connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin configuration and housing latch type against the official datasheet before procurement. Ensure compatibility with mating sockets from the same Datamate L-Tek family. Confirm that the through-hole footprint matches the target PCB design specifications to avoid assembly issues.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a double-row, 12-position header with a 2.00mm pitch is required. Consider the Datamate L-Tek series for applications demanding high cycle life and environmental resilience. Evaluate the need for latching mechanisms versus free-hanging variants based on mechanical stress requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for its four-finger beryllium copper contacts. These contacts offer superior retention force and durability compared to standard designs. The series supports both single and double-row configurations across various position counts, catering to diverse density needs.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible mating parts include M80-8501245 and M80-8871205. Verify that substitute headers maintain the same 2.00mm pitch and double-row layout. Ensure replacement components share the same contact material and plating specifications for equivalent performance.
