M80-8252042

Overview

The M80-8252042 is a vertical header connector from the Harwin Datamate L-Tek series. It features a 20-position configuration with a 2.00mm mating pitch and single row layout. Designed for through-hole termination, this male plug utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating on the mating interface. The unit incorporates a four-wall shielded housing made of black polyamide (PA46) to ensure robust mechanical integrity. Rated for 120V and 2.2A, it supports board-to-board or cable applications within an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• Datamate L-Tek series design ensures high reliability in harsh environments with shock and vibration resistance.
• Four-wall shielded housing provides comprehensive protection against physical damage and misalignment.
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts maintain signal integrity and low contact resistance over repeated cycles.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring durable interconnects
• Medical equipment demanding high reliability
• Automotive electronics exposed to vibration

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by checking manufacturer markings and datasheet alignment. Confirm RoHS compliance status as specific batches may vary. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed during storage and assembly to prevent contact contamination. Validate that the selected variant matches the required pin count and termination style for the target PCB footprint.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, shielded header is required for high-reliability connections. Consider the 2.00mm pitch and 20-position capacity for space-constrained designs. Evaluate the through-hole mounting option against surface-mount alternatives based on mechanical stress requirements. Verify compatibility with corresponding female receptacles in the same Datamate L-Tek family.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for rugged performance in demanding sectors. The M80-8252042 specifically addresses needs for shielded, vertical headers. Its construction supports stable connections in industrial and medical fields where environmental resilience is critical for continuous operation.

Replacement Considerations

M80-8252042 is obsolete. M80-7520422 is listed as a substitute but is also discontinued. Verify availability of current equivalents in the Datamate L-Tek series for direct replacement.
