M80-8261242P

Overview

The M80-8261242P is a Datamate L-Tek series board header connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a surface mount installation style with 12 positions arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes a 2.00mm pitch for both mating and row spacing, designed for board-to-board or cable applications. Contact materials consist of phosphor bronze with gold plating on the mating surfaces and tin-lead plating on the tails. The housing is constructed from black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) reinforced with glass fiber, meeting UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Electrical specifications include a rated current of 3A and a voltage rating of 120V. The unit operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.
