M80-8520442

Overview

The Harwin M80-8520442 is a Datamate L-Tek PCB header featuring 4 positions in a single row with a 2 mm pitch. It utilizes male pin contacts made of phosphor bronze, gold-plated for conductivity and corrosion resistance. The housing is constructed from PPS material, supporting board-to-board and wire-to-board connections. Rated for 120V and 3A, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Designed for through-hole installation, the connector includes an integrated latch mechanism and has a tail pin length of 3mm.

Feature Summary

• Four-finger beryllium copper contact technology ensures connection integrity under harsh conditions.
• Integrated mechanical latching system secures mating pairs against vibration and shock.
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts provide reliable electrical performance and durability.

Applications

• High-reliability industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Automotive electronics subjected to high load vibrations and shocks
• Harsh environment applications demanding durable board-to-board connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating and housing color variants. Ensure compatibility with corresponding Datamate receptacles or headers. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Confirm lead time availability as stock levels fluctuate. Validate that the selected variant matches the required current and voltage ratings for the intended circuit application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 4-position header with a 2 mm pitch is required. Choose the gold-plated version for superior corrosion resistance compared to tin options. Consider the integrated latch feature for applications needing secure mechanical retention without additional fasteners. Ensure the through-hole mounting style aligns with the PCB design constraints and thermal requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek series, designed for safety-critical and high-load applications. The series is engineered to withstand severe vibration, shock, and acceleration while maintaining connection integrity. It supports numerous mating cycles without performance degradation, making it suitable for demanding industrial and automotive sectors where reliability is paramount.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Harwin Datamate L-Tek headers with identical 4-position, single-row, 2 mm pitch configurations. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same through-hole mounting style and integrated latching mechanism. Ensure equivalent electrical ratings and operating temperature ranges are met before substitution.
