M80-8261642

Overview

The M80-8261642 is a Datamate L-Tek series header connector featuring a 16-position, dual-row configuration with a 2.0mm pitch. Designed for surface mount technology (SMT) installation, it utilizes right-angle board-to-board or wire-to-board connectivity. The contacts are constructed from phosphor bronze with gold plating on the mating interface and tin-lead plating on the tail. It supports a rated current of 3.0A and a voltage of 120V, operating within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• Datamate L-Tek series design ensures high reliability and secure mechanical locking.
• Right-angle SMT mounting facilitates compact vertical circuit board integration.
• Gold-plated contact surfaces provide durable low-resistance electrical connections.
• Dual-row layout maximizes pin density within a constrained footprint.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board interconnects
• Automotive electronics modules needing reliable signal transmission
• Military equipment demanding high-reliability connector solutions

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'P' against official Harwin documentation to confirm compliance status and material specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required plating and locking mechanism for the target application. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to confirm authenticity and availability before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a right-angle, dual-row SMT header with 16 positions is required. Confirm that the 2.0mm pitch aligns with the PCB land pattern and mating connector spacing. Verify that the 3.0A current rating and 120V voltage limit meet the system's electrical requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range covers the environmental conditions of the intended deployment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for high-density interconnects in harsh environments. The M80-8261642 specifically addresses needs for vertical board stacking or angled cable connections. Its construction supports automated assembly processes while maintaining mechanical stability under vibration and thermal cycling conditions common in industrial applications.

Replacement Considerations

M80-8261642P is listed as a similar alternative by distributors. Verify exact dimensional compatibility and electrical ratings before substitution. Check for any changes in plating thickness or locking mechanism features that may affect mating performance.
