M80-8530842

Overview

The Harwin M80-8530842 is a Datamate L-Tek series PCB header featuring an 8-position, double-row configuration with a 2mm pitch. It utilizes vertical through-hole mounting for board-to-board or wire-to-board connections. The connector supports a maximum voltage of 120V and a current rating of 3A. Contact materials consist of phosphor bronze with selective gold plating on the mating interface and tin termination. The housing is constructed from PPS material, rated UL94 V-0, and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Features fully shrouded contacts and polarized mouldings to ensure correct mating alignment.
• Utilizes high-reliability four-finger beryllium copper alloy contacts for connection integrity in harsh environments.
• Includes integrated latch mechanisms for secure mechanical retention during vibration and shock.
• Constructed with durable PPS insulation housing resistant to high temperatures and chemical exposure.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Automotive electronics subject to vibration and shock
• Medical equipment demanding reliable signal transmission
• Consumer appliances operating in varied environmental conditions

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating configuration, as this part uses selective gold on mating surfaces and tin on terminations. Confirm that the vertical orientation and 3mm tail length match the target PCB layout requirements. Ensure compatibility with corresponding female connectors from the same Datamate L-Tek family. Check for any recent product change notifications regarding material substitutions or manufacturing updates before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, latched, double-row header is required for high-density applications. The 2mm pitch allows for compact board designs while maintaining adequate spacing. Consider the 3A current rating and 120V limit against circuit demands. The shrouded design prevents misalignment, making it suitable for automated assembly processes where precise mating is critical for long-term reliability.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, designed for safety-critical and high-load applications. The series is engineered to withstand severe mechanical stress, including acceleration and impact, without compromising electrical performance. The modular nature of the Datamate system allows for flexible configurations across various industries, ensuring consistent quality and durability throughout the product lifecycle.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Harwin M80-853 variants with identical pin counts and row configurations but different orientations or latch types. Cross-brand replacements require matching the 2mm pitch, double-row structure, and shrouded contact design. Verify that alternative components support the same voltage, current, and temperature specifications to maintain system integrity.
