M80-8503442

Overview

The M80-8503442 is a Datamate L-Tek series connector kit manufactured by Harwin. It comprises a 34-position female double in-line (DIL) cable connector assembly with a 2 mm pitch and 2 rows. Designed for 24-28 AWG wire, it utilizes gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts housed in black polyamide. The system includes latches for secure mating and supports through-hole termination on the mating board.

Feature Summary

• Datamate L-Tek modular architecture enables flexible configuration of contact counts and housing styles.
• Gold-plated four-finger beryllium copper contacts ensure reliable signal integrity in harsh environments.
• Integrated latch mechanism provides positive retention and high vibration resistance during operation.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Medical equipment demanding high reliability
• Automotive electronics under severe mechanical stress
• Aerospace instrumentation with strict environmental constraints

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order includes both the cable connector housing and the corresponding mating header or PCB receptacle, as kits are often sold separately. Confirm the required wire gauge falls within the 24-28 AWG range to ensure proper crimping and contact engagement. Check RoHS compliance documentation if restricted substances are a project constraint.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a DIL female cable connection is required for the Datamate L-Tek ecosystem. Ensure the mating side uses compatible male headers from the same series. Consider the operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C against application demands. Verify that the 2 mm pitch matches the PCB footprint or cable harness layout requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for its high-density interconnect capabilities. It complements other M80-series parts like M80-8534442 and M80-8443442. The series emphasizes durability and ease of use in space-constrained designs across multiple industries.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific kit configuration. Compatible alternatives must be sourced from the broader Datamate L-Tek catalog ensuring identical pitch, row count, and contact plating specifications.
