M80-8272022

Overview

The M80-8272022 is a Datamate L-Tek series header connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a 20-position configuration with a 2mm pitch and two rows of male pins. Designed for surface mount installation, this shrouded connector utilizes friction lock retention. The contacts are made of phosphor bronze with gold plating, while the housing is constructed from black PPS material reinforced with glass fiber. It supports a rated current of 2.2A and withstands voltages up to 800V. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and meets UL94 V-0 flammability standards.

Feature Summary

• Shrouded design provides four-wall shielding for pin protection
• Friction lock mechanism ensures secure mating without screws
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts ensure reliable conductivity
• Surface mount termination facilitates automated PCB assembly

Applications

• LED or diode testing equipment interfaces
• Board-to-board interconnections in compact electronics
• Wire-to-board connections requiring high density
• Industrial control modules with vibration resistance needs

Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status as historical data indicates potential non-compliance for specific batches. Confirm lead times due to potential end-of-life transitions. Ensure compatibility with mating sockets from the same Datamate L-Tek family. Check for updated REACH declarations before final procurement approval.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring high-density 20-pin surface mount headers. The 2mm pitch allows for compact circuit board layouts. Choose over through-hole variants when space constraints prevent vertical protrusion. Consider the 800V rating for higher voltage signal transmission compared to standard low-voltage connectors.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for its robust mechanical performance and high contact density. The M80-827 series specifically addresses surface mount requirements within the broader Datamate ecosystem. It complements other Harwin connectors designed for demanding industrial and commercial environments requiring reliable electrical connections.

Replacement Considerations

M80-8260642 is listed as a similar alternative by distributors, though position counts differ. Verify exact pin count and row configuration when substituting. No direct official cross-reference is provided in public datasheets; manual verification of mechanical fit is required.
