M80-8511045

Overview

The M80-8511045 is a Datamate L-Tek male header connector featuring a 2-row, 10-position (5+5) configuration with a 2mm pitch. Designed for horizontal through-board mounting, it utilizes gold-plated beryllium copper contacts and a PPS housing. Rated for 3A current and 120V voltage, it operates within a -55°C to +125°C range. The assembly includes strain relief clips and an integrated latch mechanism for secure board-to-board or wire-to-board connections.

Feature Summary

• Horizontal orientation with integrated latch for secure mating
• Strain relief clips for cable stability
• Gold-plated beryllium copper contacts for reliability
• PPS insulation material for thermal resistance

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnects in harsh environments
• Wire-to-board connections requiring strain relief
• Industrial equipment subject to vibration and shock
• Safety-critical systems demanding high durability

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the official Harwin datasheet to confirm the presence of the latch and strain relief features. Ensure compatibility with the corresponding female receptacle from the same Datamate series. Confirm that the horizontal mounting style aligns with the PCB layout requirements before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a horizontal male header with positive locking is required. It is suitable for applications needing robust strain relief and high-cycle durability. Verify that the 2mm pitch and 10-position count match the design constraints. Consider the operating temperature range and current rating for the specific circuit load.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Harwin Datamate L-Tek series, known for high-reliability connectors in demanding conditions. The M80 series specifically offers versatile mounting options and durable materials. This model represents a standard horizontal male plug variant within that ecosystem, designed for consistent performance in industrial and safety-focused applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must be verified via Harwin's official cross-reference tools. Generic equivalents may lack the specific latch mechanism or strain relief features. Ensure any replacement maintains the 2mm pitch, 10-position count, and horizontal orientation to fit existing PCB footprints.

FAQ

Does the M80-8511045 include a latch?

Yes, the datasheet description identifies it as a latched assembly, providing secure mating retention.

What is the contact material?
