M80-8280445

Overview

The Harwin M80-8280445 is a Datamate L-Tek series header connector designed for board-to-board and wire-to-board applications. It features a 4-position configuration with a male contact type arranged in two rows. The component utilizes a 2.00 mm pitch and is intended for surface mount installation in a straight orientation. It includes a 4.5 mm tail length and incorporates jack screws (JS) for secure locking. The contacts are gold-plated to ensure reliable electrical performance.

Feature Summary

• Integrates jack screw locking mechanisms for enhanced mechanical stability during operation
• Features a compact 2-row male pin header design suitable for dense circuit layouts
• Supports surface mount technology with a specific 4.5 mm tail dimension for PCB integration

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing high-density mounting
• Automotive electronics demanding secure signal transmission

Procurement Notes

Verify the presence of jack screws as indicated by the JS suffix, which distinguishes this variant from standard headers. Confirm the surface mount footprint matches the target PCB design. Ensure compatibility with the Datamate L-Tek mating housing system. Check for any specific handling requirements due to the surface mount construction.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a locked connection is required for a 4-position interface. The 2.00 mm pitch allows for moderate density compared to finer pitches. Consider the 4.5 mm tail length for clearance needs above the PCB. This part is ideal for applications where vibration resistance provided by the jack screws is critical.

Part Context

This connector belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for its versatility in mixed-signal environments. The M80 series offers various configurations including cable and board mounts. This specific model focuses on rigid board connections with added security features through its locking mechanism.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible mating housings include other Datamate L-Tek female connectors with matching 2.00 mm pitch. Verify that replacement parts also feature jack screws if locking is mandatory. Standard non-locked equivalents exist but lack the mechanical security of this specific model.
