M80-8511642

Overview

The M80-8511642 is a Datamate L-Tek female header connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a 16-position, dual-in-line (8+8) configuration with a 2.00mm pitch. Designed for vertical through-hole mounting, this right-angle connector utilizes tin/lead plated contacts and a black PPS housing. It supports board-to-board or wire-to-board applications with a rated voltage of 120V and current capacity of 3A. The operating temperature range spans from -55°C to +125°C, ensuring reliability in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• High-reliability four-finger beryllium copper contact design ensures connection integrity under shock and vibration
• Durable construction allows for high mating cycles without performance degradation
• Suitable for safety-critical applications requiring robust mechanical stability

Applications

• Industrial control systems subject to high vibration and shock
• Safety-critical electronic assemblies
• Board-to-board interconnects in harsh environmental conditions

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific plating finish, as datasheets may list tin/lead while other sources indicate gold. Confirm that the right-angle orientation matches the PCB layout requirements. Ensure the through-hole termination method aligns with the assembly process. Cross-reference the official Harwin datasheet for the most accurate electrical ratings and material specifications before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high durability and resistance to mechanical stress are required. The four-finger contact system provides superior retention compared to standard designs. Consider the right-angle form factor for space-constrained vertical connections. Verify compatibility with mating pins regarding pitch and housing dimensions. Ensure the thermal rating meets the operational environment constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek series, designed for high-reliability applications. The series is characterized by its robust mechanical locking and ability to withstand severe environmental conditions. It is distinct from the J-Tek series by its specific latch mechanisms and contact geometry optimized for repeated mating cycles in critical infrastructure.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the Datamate L-Tek family must match the 16-position count, 2.00mm pitch, and right-angle orientation. Verify that any alternative part number maintains the same four-finger contact design and housing material. Ensure the mounting style and termination type remain compatible with existing PCB footprints.
