M80-8281822P

Overview

The M80-8281822P is a Datamate L-Tek series header connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a surface mount termination style with 18 positions arranged in a dual inline (DIL) configuration. The connector utilizes a 2.00mm pitch for both mating and row spacing, designed for board-to-board or cable applications. Constructed with phosphor bronze contacts featuring gold plating on the mating interface and tin plating on the tail, it ensures reliable electrical performance. The housing is made of black, glass-filled PPS material rated UL94 V-0. Key mechanical specifications include an insulation height of 5.20mm and a shrouded four-wall design. The unit supports a rated current of 2.2A and a voltage rating of 800V, operating within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• Surface mount termination facilitates automated PCB assembly processes.
• Shrouded four-wall housing provides physical protection and alignment for mating connectors.
• Gold-plated contact surfaces ensure low contact resistance and corrosion resistance.
• High insulation material rating supports operation in demanding thermal environments.

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections in compact electronic modules
• Cable-to-board connections requiring surface mount stability
• Industrial control systems utilizing high-density I/O interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment with strict space constraints

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit risks. Confirm RoHS compliance status as historical data indicates potential non-compliance for specific batches. Check lead times due to potential production changes. Ensure storage conditions maintain moisture sensitivity level integrity prior to soldering. Validate that the ordering suffix matches the required pin count and orientation specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when surface mount technology is required for dual-row headers. Consider the 2.00mm pitch for compatibility with existing Datamate L-Tek mating parts. Evaluate the 800V rating against system voltage requirements. Assess the shrouded design needs for mechanical protection during assembly. Compare thermal ratings against operational environment limits to ensure reliability under sustained load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for high-density interconnect solutions. It complements female socket counterparts like the M80-878 series. The series is widely used in industrial automation and medical devices where reliable, compact connections are critical. Harwin designs these connectors to meet stringent environmental and mechanical standards for long-term durability.

Replacement Considerations

M80-8281822P is currently listed as obsolete. Verify availability of direct substitutes such as M80-8261842 or M80-8281842 if compatible. Ensure pin count, pitch, and mounting type match exactly before substitution. Consult official Harwin documentation for cross-reference validity.
