M80-8281042

Overview

The M80-8281042 is a Datamate L-Tek connector header featuring 10 positions arranged in two rows. It utilizes a 2.00mm pitch for mating and mounting. The component is designed for vertical through-hole termination with tin-plated contacts. Rated for 120V, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The housing is constructed from black thermoplastic material.

Feature Summary

• Vertical male pin configuration with friction latch mechanism
• Two-row design supporting board-to-board or wire-to-board connections
• Through-hole solder termination for secure PCB mounting

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnects
• Wire-to-board assemblies
• General electronic equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm contact plating details, as sources indicate tin finish while some listings suggest gold. Ensure the vertical orientation matches the mechanical constraints of the target assembly. Confirm that the friction latch style meets the retention requirements for the application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a low-profile, two-row header with a locking feature is required. The 2.00mm pitch allows for dense circuit layouts. Consider the vertical form factor for space-constrained designs where side clearance is limited. Verify compatibility with mating sockets from the same Datamate L-Tek series.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Harwin Datamate L-Tek family, known for compact rectangular connectors. The M80-828 prefix identifies the specific series characteristics. It serves as a standard interconnect solution for modern electronics requiring reliable signal transmission in small form factors.

Replacement Considerations

M80-8520642 is listed as a potential substitute by the manufacturer. Verify that the substitute maintains the same 10-position count, vertical orientation, and through-hole termination method before implementation.
