M80-8271642

Overview

The M80-8271642 is a Datamate L-Tek series header connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a 2-row, 16-position configuration with a 2.00mm pitch. Designed for surface mount installation, it utilizes male pins made of phosphor bronze with gold plating on the mating surfaces and tin plating on the tails. The housing is constructed from black, glass-filled PPS rated UL94 V-0. This component 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 with four-wall shielding for robust signal integrity
• Surface mount termination method compatible with automated assembly processes
• Gold-plated circular contacts ensuring reliable electrical performance
• High-temperature resistant PPS insulation material for harsh environments

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections in compact electronic modules
• Cable-to-board connections requiring secure surface mounting
• Industrial control systems demanding high reliability
• Automotive electronics operating under extreme temperatures

Procurement Notes

Verify component obsolescence status prior to procurement as this part may be discontinued. Confirm that replacement alternatives maintain identical pin counts, row configurations, and mounting styles. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprint designs and mating connector specifications. Review manufacturer notices for any material changes or lifecycle updates affecting long-term supply chain stability.

Selection Notes

Select this connector when surface mount technology is required for high-density interconnects. The two-row layout maximizes connection density while maintaining standard 2.00mm spacing. Gold contact plating is suitable for low-level signal applications. Verify that the operating voltage and current ratings align with system requirements. Consider thermal management capabilities due to the specified high-temperature range.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for its ruggedized design and shielded construction. The series offers various positioning options and mounting styles to suit diverse application needs. The M80-8271642 specifically addresses the need for reliable surface-mounted headers in space-constrained environments requiring durable electrical connections.

Replacement Considerations

M80-8271642 is obsolete. Similar substitutes include M80-8261842, though pin count and row configuration differences must be evaluated carefully against original design requirements.
