M80-8281642P

Overview

The M80-8281642P is a Datamate L-Tek series connector header featuring 16 positions in a dual in-line configuration. It utilizes a 0.079-inch (2.00mm) pitch and is designed for surface mount installation. The component employs male pin contacts with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. This vertical orientation connector supports discrete wire applications within the specified series parameters.

Feature Summary

• Vertical surface mount design for space-constrained PCB layouts
• Gold-plated male pins for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Dual in-line configuration supporting high-density interconnects

Applications

• General purpose board-to-board connections
• Discrete wire cable assemblies
• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix P indicates the vertical orientation variant when sourcing. Confirm that the ordering information matches the required surface mount footprint and pin count. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles from the same Datamate L-Tek family to maintain proper alignment and electrical continuity during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a low-profile, vertically oriented header with surface mount termination. The 2.00mm pitch allows for moderate density routing. Consider the mechanical stability provided by the surface mount pads versus through-hole alternatives. Verify that the gold plating thickness meets the environmental requirements of the target deployment scenario.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Harwin Datamate L-Tek family, which specializes in high-reliability connectors for demanding environments. The L-Tek series distinguishes itself with surface mount capabilities and compact form factors. The M80-8281642P represents a standard vertical header option within this lineup, offering a balance of connectivity density and mounting flexibility for modern electronic designs.

Replacement Considerations

M80-8281642 is the non-prefixed equivalent. Verify if the suffix denotes a specific packaging or orientation difference. Cross-reference mating receptacles such as M80-405 series components to ensure mechanical fit.
