M80-8281045P

Overview

The M80-8281045P is a Datamate L-Tek male header connector featuring 10 positions in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 2.00mm pitch and employs surface-mount termination for PCB integration. The contacts are gold-plated beryllium copper, rated for 3A current at 120V. Designed for high-reliability environments, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and includes an integrated latch mechanism for secure mating.

Feature Summary

• Integrated latch mechanism ensures positive retention during mating cycles
• High-reliability four-finger beryllium copper contact structure maintains connection integrity under vibration
• Surface-mount termination facilitates automated PCB assembly processes

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connections
• Automotive electronics subject to high vibration and shock
• Medical devices demanding reliable signal transmission in constrained spaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'P' against official Harwin documentation to confirm the presence of the latch feature, as standard variants may differ. Ensure compatibility with mating female connectors from the same Datamate L-Tek series. Confirm surface-mount pad layout matches target PCB design specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a latched, surface-mount male header is required for 10-position applications. It is suitable for designs needing 2.00mm spacing with high mechanical stability. Consider the operating temperature range and current rating relative to system requirements. Verify that the mating connector supports the latch engagement mechanism for proper assembly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Harwin Datamate L-Tek series, known for durability in harsh environments. The M80-8281045P specifically addresses needs for secure, surface-mounted interconnects. It complements other L-Tek headers and wire housings within the M80 product family, offering consistent performance across various position counts and termination styles.

Replacement Considerations

M80-8281045 (non-latched variant) serves as a functional substitute if the locking mechanism is not required. Other 10-position L-Tek headers may fit mechanically but lack the specific latch feature. Verify pinout and dimensional compatibility before substituting.
