M80-8400242

Overview

The Harwin M80-8400242 is a Datamate L-Tek female header connector designed for vertical PCB mounting. It features a 2-position single-row configuration with a 2 mm pitch. The contacts are gold-plated beryllium copper, rated for 3 A current and 120 V voltage. Constructed with PPS housing, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. Termination is achieved via through-hole soldering.

Feature Summary

• Vertical orientation facilitates compact board stacking.
• Gold plating ensures reliable signal conductivity.
• PPS insulation provides thermal stability.

Applications

• General electronic interconnects
• Automotive control modules
• Industrial instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm pin count and termination style. Ensure compatibility with mating male headers from the same Datamate L-Tek series. Confirm RoHS compliance status prior to integration into regulated assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring low-profile vertical connections. The 2 mm pitch suits dense layouts. Validate that the 3 A rating meets circuit requirements. Consider mechanical retention needs when designing the PCB footprint.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for robust performance in harsh environments. It complements other M80 series connectors, offering versatile options for board-to-board and wire-to-board interfaces within the same ecosystem.

Replacement Considerations

M80-8400242-ND is the DigiKey equivalent identifier. Cross-reference with M80-8400242F2 if locking mechanisms differ. Verify exact dimensional tolerances before substitution.
