M80-8500645

Overview

The M80-8500645 is a Datamate L-Tek series board-to-board receptacle manufactured by Harwin. It features a 14-position configuration arranged in two rows of seven contacts, utilizing a 2 mm pitch. The connector employs through-hole termination with solder pins and straight mounting orientation. Electrical ratings include a current capacity of 3 A and a voltage rating of 120 V. The housing is constructed from black thermoplastic material, while the contacts are made of beryllium copper with gold plating. The operational temperature range spans from -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes high-reliability four-finger beryllium copper contact structure for secure connection integrity under vibration and shock.
• Designed for durability with resistance to performance degradation during repeated mating cycles.
• Compatible with optional locking mechanisms or lock-free configurations for flexible assembly requirements.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board interconnects
• Automotive electronics subjected to high vibration and acceleration
• Harsh environment applications demanding stable electrical connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and row configuration against project schematics, as datasheet references may vary between 6-position and 14-position variants. Confirm that the through-hole solder termination aligns with the printed circuit board manufacturing process. Ensure the operating temperature range meets environmental specifications. Cross-reference the official Harwin documentation to resolve discrepancies regarding current ratings and housing materials before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a reliable, high-cycle life board-to-board interface is required. The Datamate L-Tek series offers superior mechanical stability compared to standard connectors. Consider the available locking options if additional retention force is needed. Verify compatibility with mating headers within the same series. The straight orientation and through-hole mounting dictate PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, which is engineered for safety-critical and high-vibration applications. The series is characterized by its durable construction and consistent performance over extensive mating cycles. It serves as a key interconnection solution in sectors where reliability under stress is paramount, distinguishing it from general-purpose connectors through its specialized contact design and material selection.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not provided in the source data. Consult Harwin's official cross-reference tools for compatible alternatives. Ensure any replacement maintains the 2 mm pitch, through-hole termination, and matching electrical ratings. Verify mechanical dimensions and locking mechanism compatibility before substitution.
