M80-8520242

Overview

The M80-8520242 is a Datamate L-Tek male header connector designed for vertical through-hole mounting. It features a single row with two positions and a 2.00mm pitch spacing. The contacts are constructed from phosphor bronze with selective gold plating on the mating surface and tin plating on the tail, ensuring reliable conductivity and solderability. The housing is made of black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) reinforced with glass fiber, rated UL94 V-0 for flammability. This unlatched plug supports board-to-board and wire-to-board applications within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• Vertical through-hole mounting style for direct PCB integration
• Selective gold and tin contact plating for optimized electrical performance
• High-temperature resistant PPS insulation material
• Unlatched design for flexible assembly configurations

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections in compact electronic modules
• Wire-to-board connections for signal transmission
• Industrial control systems requiring high reliability
• Automotive electronics operating in harsh environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number M80-8520242 against official Harwin documentation to confirm the single-row, two-position configuration and selective plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating sockets from the same Datamate L-Tek series. Check for any recent updates to the datasheet regarding environmental compliance or mechanical tolerances before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, vertical male header with minimal pin count is required. The 2.00mm pitch allows for dense circuit layouts while maintaining robust mechanical stability. Consider the unlatched nature for applications where retention is managed by other means or where frequent mating cycles are not expected. Validate that the current rating and voltage withstand capabilities meet the system requirements.

Part Context

This connector belongs to the Datamate L-Tek series, known for its durability in high-vibration and shock environments. The series utilizes four-finger beryllium copper contacts for superior connection integrity. As a male header, it pairs with female sockets to form secure interconnects suitable for demanding industrial and automotive applications.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Harwin Datamate L-Tek male headers with identical 2.00mm pitch, vertical orientation, and through-hole termination. Ensure the replacement matches the two-position count and unlatched design. Cross-reference with official Harwin cross-reference guides for exact functional equivalents.
