M80-8501642

Overview

The Harwin M80-8501642 is a Datamate L-Tek series DIL female vertical connector with 8+8 positions and a 2.00mm pitch. It features gold-plated contacts and a tin-plated shell, designed for through-hole mounting with a 3mm PC tail length. Rated for 120V and -55°C to 125°C operating temperatures, this component ensures reliable board-to-board or wire-to-board connections in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes high-reliability four-finger beryllium copper contacts to maintain connection integrity under vibration, shock, and acceleration.
• Datamate L-Tek design allows for secure mating with optional latching mechanisms for enhanced durability.
• Gold-plated contact surfaces provide corrosion resistance and stable electrical performance over high cycle counts.

Applications

• Safety-critical applications requiring robust mechanical retention
• High-load environments subject to significant vibration and shock
• Harsh operational conditions demanding long-term connection reliability

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official Harwin datasheet to confirm contact plating, shell material, and tail length specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating male connectors within the Datamate L-Tek family. Cross-reference part numbers carefully as minor suffix variations may alter physical dimensions or material composition.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical female receptacle with a 3mm tail is required for through-hole PCB assembly. The 2mm pitch and 16-position configuration suit dense board-to-board interconnects. Consider the Datamate L-Tek series for its superior retention force compared to standard headers in dynamic environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Harwin Datamate L-Tek family, engineered for high-reliability interconnects. The series is characterized by its ability to withstand extreme mechanical stress and environmental factors while maintaining electrical continuity. It serves as a critical interface solution in industrial and aerospace sectors where failure is not an option.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Harwin M80-850xx42 variants with matching 8+8 position counts and 3mm tail lengths. Verify that alternative parts retain the same 2mm pitch and vertical orientation to ensure mechanical fit and electrical alignment without redesigning the PCB footprint.
