M80-8520742

Overview

The M80-8520742 is a Datamate L-Tek series header connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a vertical through-hole mounting style with 7 positions and a 2.00mm (0.079 inch) pitch. The contacts are male pins made of phosphor bronze, terminated via solder. Rated for 3A current and 120V voltage, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The housing is constructed from black Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes high-reliability four-finger beryllium copper contact technology for connection integrity under shock and vibration.
• Straight vertical design suitable for board-to-board or cable applications without integrated latches.
• Constructed with durable PPS insulation material resistant to harsh environmental conditions.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust connections
• Automotive electronics subject to high vibration
• Medical equipment demanding high reliability
• Harsh environment instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact configuration and termination type against the official datasheet before procurement. Ensure compatibility with mating sockets in the Datamate L-Tek series. Confirm that the absence of an integrated latch meets the mechanical retention requirements of the target assembly. Cross-reference the pin count and pitch to prevent installation errors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, non-latched vertical header is required for high-reliability applications. Consider the 3A current rating and 120V voltage limit for circuit design. Evaluate the need for four-finger contact technology if the application involves significant mechanical stress or vibration. Ensure the through-hole footprint matches the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, designed for safety-critical and high-load applications. The series emphasizes durability and resistance to shock, impact, and acceleration. It is engineered to maintain connection integrity over repeated mating cycles in challenging environments, distinguishing it from standard commercial connectors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include other pin counts such as M80-8510842 (8-position). Verify that any replacement maintains the 2.00mm pitch, vertical orientation, and through-hole termination style. Ensure the mating socket counterpart is compatible with the Datamate L-Tek male pin geometry.
