M80-8420642

Overview

The M80-8420642 is a Datamate L-Tek series connector header manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a single row of six male pins with a 2.00mm pitch, designed for right-angle through-hole mounting. The housing is black PPS with glass fiber reinforcement, rated UL94 V-0. Contacts are phosphor bronze with gold plating on the mating area and tin on the termination side. It supports board-to-board or cable connections with a current rating of 3A and voltage rating of 120V. Operating temperature ranges from -55°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• Datamate L-Tek high-reliability interconnect system
• Right-angle single in-line configuration
• Push-pull locking mechanism for secure connection
• Gold-plated contact surfaces for corrosion resistance

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Cable-to-board connections
• Industrial control systems
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number M80-8420642 against official Harwin documentation to ensure correct orientation (right-angle) and pin count (6-position). Confirm that the Datamate L-Tek series compatibility matches your existing connector ecosystem. Check for any ordering suffix variations that may affect packaging or material specifications. Ensure the supplier provides traceable components matching the manufacturer's standard delivery terms.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a right-angle, single-row male header is required for space-constrained PCB layouts. The 2.00mm pitch offers a balance between density and ease of assembly. The push-pull lock ensures mechanical stability in vibration-prone environments. Consider the 3A current rating and 120V voltage limit for electrical compliance. The right-angle design facilitates compact stacking or edge-mounting configurations.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for high-density interconnects. It complements female receptacles like the M80-4C10605FC series. The M80-8420642 specifically addresses needs for horizontal board connections where vertical headers are unsuitable. Its robust construction supports demanding industrial applications requiring reliable signal and power transmission.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the Datamate L-Tek series include other 6-position right-angle headers such as M80-8420642 variants with different tail lengths if available. Cross-series replacements require verifying pitch, locking mechanism, and current ratings. No generic equivalents are confirmed; always consult Harwin for approved alternatives.
