M80-8260645P

Overview

The M80-8260645P is a 6-position male connector from the Datamate L-Tek series, designed for surface mount technology. It features a 2mm (0.079 inch) pin-to-pin spacing and a 2-row configuration. The contacts are gold-plated phosphor bronze pins suitable for board-to-board or cable applications. The housing is constructed from black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) with glass fiber reinforcement, ensuring UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Rated for 3A current and 120V voltage, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Surface mount design with integrated pick-and-place compatibility for automated assembly processes.
• High-reliability Datamate L-Tek locking mechanism ensures secure mating connections.
• Gold-plated contacts provide enhanced corrosion resistance and stable electrical performance.
• Robust PPS housing material supports high-temperature soldering profiles.

Applications

• Automotive electronic control units requiring compact interconnects
• Industrial instrumentation and sensor modules
• Medical device circuit boards
• Telecommunications equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify that the suffix 'P' confirms the specific pick-and-place compatible variant required for your manufacturing line. Ensure the ordering part number matches exactly, as standard versions may lack the necessary packaging or tooling features for automated placement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the official datasheet before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints necessitate a low-profile surface mount solution with robust mechanical retention. The 2mm pitch offers a balance between density and manufacturability. Consider the 3A current rating against your application's power requirements. Verify that the straight orientation aligns with your PCB layout and mating connector geometry.

Part Context

This connector belongs to Harwin's Datamate L-Tek family, known for high reliability in harsh environments. The L-Tek series utilizes a unique locking system distinct from other Harwin lines like Mix-Tek. This specific model represents a male header variant optimized for direct surface mounting on printed circuit boards.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include M80-8260645 if pick-and-place features are not critical. Other Harwin L-Tek variants with matching pin counts and pitch should be evaluated for mechanical fit and electrical specifications before substitution.

FAQ

What is the purpose of the 'P' suffix in the part number?

The 'P' suffix indicates that the connector is packaged and designed specifically for pick-and-place automated assembly equipment.

Is this connector compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles?

Yes, the PPS housing and construction are rated for standard surface mount reflow soldering temperatures up to 125°C operating limit.
