M80-8281422

Overview

The M80-8281422 is a Datamate L-Tek male header connector featuring 14 positions arranged in a dual inline vertical configuration. Designed for surface mount technology, it utilizes a 2.00mm pitch with phosphor bronze contacts finished in tin plating. The housing is constructed from black PPS material reinforced with glass fiber, ensuring UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operation within a -55°C to +125°C temperature range. Integrated locking latches require tooling for separation.

Feature Summary

• Incorporates integrated locking latches that necessitate specific tooling for the separation of mated connections.
• Features a robust double-row vertical design suitable for high-density board-to-board or cable applications.
• Utilizes a thermoplastic insulator with glass fiber reinforcement to maintain structural integrity under thermal stress.

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections requiring secure mechanical retention
• Cable-to-board assemblies utilizing mating wire housings
• Industrial control systems demanding reliable signal transmission

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating variant required for your application environment. This part number denotes the tin-plated version; gold-plated alternatives exist within the same series. Confirm surface mount footprint compatibility with your PCB design before procurement. Ensure availability of necessary separation tools if the locking latch mechanism is critical to your assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a surface-mounted male header with positive locking retention is required. It is appropriate for environments where vibration resistance is crucial due to the latch mechanism. Consider the tin plating for general-purpose use rather than harsh corrosive conditions which might necessitate gold plating. Verify that the 2.00mm pitch aligns with the mating connector specifications.

Part Context

This connector belongs to the Harwin Datamate L-Tek family, known for its compact form factor and high reliability. The L-Tek series specifically targets applications requiring small pitch connectors with robust mechanical features. As a male header, it serves as the counterpart to female sockets, facilitating versatile interconnection schemes in modern electronic devices.

Replacement Considerations

M80-8281422P is a related variant within the Datamate series. Note that suffix changes may indicate different plating or packaging configurations. Always cross-reference datasheets to ensure electrical and mechanical compatibility before substitution.
