M80-8251222

Overview

The M80-8251222 is a Datamate L-Tek series PCB header manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a vertical, two-row configuration with 12 positions and a 2 mm pitch. The connector utilizes male pin contacts made of brass with gold plating, housed in a black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) body. Rated for 3 A current and 120 V voltage, it supports surface mount solder termination. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and meets UL94 V-0 flammability standards.

Feature Summary

• High-reliability four-finger beryllium copper contact structure ensures connection integrity under vibration and shock.
• Durable design withstands repeated mating cycles without performance degradation.
• Compatible with friction lock or latch mechanisms for secure board-to-board connections.

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnects in high-vibration environments
• Line-to-board connections requiring robust mechanical stability
• Industrial equipment subject to shock and acceleration loads

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official Harwin datasheet to confirm exact pin count, row configuration, and termination style. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors from the same Datamate family. Check for RoHS compliance status as indicated in product documentation before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications demanding high durability and resistance to environmental stressors. The PPS housing and gold-plated contacts offer corrosion resistance. Consider the vertical orientation and SMT mounting style for space-constrained PCB layouts requiring direct board attachment.
