M80-8511442

Overview

The Harwin M80-8511442 is a Datamate L-Tek series PCB header featuring 14 contacts arranged in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 2.00mm pitch and employs right-angle through-hole solder termination for board mounting. The connector system supports board-to-board and wire-to-board applications, rated at 120V with a 3A current capacity. Constructed with phosphor bronze contacts gold-plated for mating surfaces and housed in black PPS insulation, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• High-reliability four-finger beryllium copper or phosphor bronze contacts ensure connection integrity under severe vibration, shock, and acceleration.
• Robust design withstands high mating cycles without performance degradation, suitable for harsh environments.
• Right-angle orientation facilitates compact board-to-board and wire-to-board interconnections.

Applications

• Aviation systems requiring reliable connections under severe vibration
• Defense equipment operating in harsh environmental conditions
• Industrial machinery subject to high mechanical stress
• Medical critical electronic equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact material specification (phosphor bronze vs. beryllium copper) against the official datasheet, as variations exist within the Datamate L-Tek family. Confirm that the 120V rating aligns with your application's electrical requirements rather than assuming higher voltage capabilities found in other series variants. Ensure the right-angle form factor matches your PCB layout constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high durability and resistance to mechanical shock are prioritized over standard connectivity needs. The Datamate L-Tek series is designed for safety-critical applications where connection failure is not an option. Consider the right-angle footprint and through-hole mounting method during the initial PCB design phase to ensure proper spatial clearance and assembly compatibility.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek series by Harwin Inc., engineered for high-reliability interconnect solutions. The series is specifically marketed for sectors such as aviation, defense, and medical devices where robustness against vibration and shock is mandatory. It represents a specialized subset of connectors focused on maintaining signal integrity in extreme operational conditions.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Harwin Datamate L-Tek headers with matching 14-pin counts and 2.00mm pitch, such as M80-8511642 for 16 positions or M80-8510442 for 4 positions, provided the contact type and row configuration remain consistent.
