M80-8400445

Overview

The M80-8400445 is a Datamate L-Tek female receptacle connector from Harwin Inc., designed for vertical printed circuit board (PCB) mounting. It features a 4-position configuration with a 2.00 mm pitch across two rows, providing a compact interface solution. The assembly utilizes gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission and low contact resistance. The housing is constructed from black polyamide material, offering mechanical stability and thermal resistance suitable for industrial applications.

Feature Summary

• Vertical PCB tail design facilitates direct through-hole integration onto circuit boards.
• Gold-plated female socket contacts provide durable electrical connections.
• Polyamide housing ensures structural integrity and thermal performance.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust power or signal interfaces
• Embedded electronic modules needing vertical board-to-board connectivity
• Automotive electronics assemblies with space-constrained layouts

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm RoHS compliance status and detailed material certifications before finalizing procurement. Ensure that the ordering suffix matches the required latch or non-latch configuration if applicable, as variations exist within the Datamate series. Cross-reference the pin count and pitch specifications against the target PCB footprint to guarantee mechanical compatibility during the sourcing phase.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, through-hole female connector is required for a 4-position, 2-row interface. The 2.00 mm pitch allows for dense wiring arrangements while maintaining adequate spacing. Consider the gold plating for corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Evaluate the thermal limits of the polyamide housing against the operating temperature range of the application to ensure long-term reliability under stress.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Harwin Datamate L-Tek series, which is engineered for high-density interconnects in harsh environments. The L-Tek variant typically offers enhanced locking mechanisms compared to standard J-Tek connectors. As a vertical receptacle, it serves as the stationary counterpart to cable-mounted plugs, forming a secure mating pair for power and data transmission in modular electronic designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include other 4-position Datamate L-Tek vertical sockets, such as the M80-8400442, though differences in latch configurations or contact materials may require re-evaluation of the mechanical fit and electrical requirements. Always verify pinout and housing dimensions before swapping components.
