M80-8460242

Overview

The M80-8460242 is a male header connector from the Harwin Datamate L-Tek series, designed for board-to-board or cable applications. It features a 2mm pitch with two rows of contacts, totaling four positions. The connector utilizes through-hole right-angle mounting and solder termination. Rated for 120V and 2.2A, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The housing is constructed from black PPS material with UL94 V-0 flammability rating, while contacts are made of phosphor bronze with gold plating.

Feature Summary

• Right-angle through-hole mounting configuration for compact PCB integration
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts ensuring reliable signal transmission
• High-temperature resistant PPS insulation suitable for harsh environments

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections in industrial control systems
• Cable-to-board connections in automotive electronics
• Compact device interfaces requiring right-angle routing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and row configuration against project requirements before ordering. Confirm that the right-angle orientation matches the PCB layout constraints. Ensure compatibility with mating sockets from the same Datamate L-Tek series. Check for any specific handling requirements due to the through-hole soldering process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, right-angle male header is required for high-density applications. The 2mm pitch allows for significant I/O density in limited space. Consider the 120V rating and 2.2A current capacity for power and signal lines. The robust PPS housing makes it suitable for environments with elevated temperatures.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for its small form factor and high reliability. It complements other connectors in the series, such as M80-8430542 and M80-8420442, which share similar electrical characteristics but differ in position count and orientation. The series is widely used in portable and industrial equipment.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the Harwin Datamate L-Tek series should be considered for equivalent performance. Verify that alternative parts match the 2mm pitch, right-angle orientation, and through-hole mounting style. Cross-compatibility with mating sockets must be confirmed to ensure proper mechanical and electrical connection.
