M80-8511242

Overview

The M80-8511242 is a Datamate L-Tek male header connector featuring 12 positions in a dual inline (6+6) configuration. It utilizes a 2.00mm pitch and is designed for right-angle through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. The contacts are constructed from phosphor bronze with gold plating, ensuring reliable signal transmission. Rated for 3A current and 120V voltage, the unit operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The housing is black PPS material, providing UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Feature Summary

• High-reliability four-finger beryllium copper contact technology ensures connection integrity without loss.
• Resistant to 100G shock, 40G bump, and 10G vibration for robust performance in harsh environments.
• Shrouded design prevents misalignment during mating with female connectors.

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Cable-to-board connections
• Harsh environment industrial electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order code matches the required strain relief straps if cable assembly is intended, as these are often sold separately. Confirm the right-angle orientation and through-hole termination type align with the PCB layout requirements. Ensure compatibility with the corresponding female socket series specified in the official mating guide.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high mechanical durability against shock and vibration is required alongside standard 2.00mm spacing. The gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts offer superior conductivity and corrosion resistance compared to tin variants. Consider the shrouded design for applications requiring precise alignment during insertion.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Harwin Datamate L-Tek series, known for its compact size and high reliability. The series is widely used in medical, industrial, and automotive sectors where space constraints and environmental resilience are critical factors for connector selection.

Replacement Considerations

M80-8511442: Similar 14-position variant with different pin count. M80-8531242: Right-angle header but with tin plating instead of gold. Verify mating compatibility with female counterparts before substitution.
