M80-8531442

Overview

The Harwin M80-8531442 is a Datamate L-Tek series PCB header featuring a 2 mm pitch and 14 positions in a dual-in-line configuration. It utilizes a two-row arrangement with male pin contacts, designed for vertical through-hole soldering onto printed circuit boards. The connector system supports both board-to-board and wire-to-board interconnections. Constructed with PPS housing and gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and withstands 120V. This component is part of the high-reliability Datamate family, engineered for robust performance in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• Features a four-finger beryllium copper contact design to ensure connection integrity under high vibration, shock, and acceleration loads.
• Incorporates a latched mechanism to secure mating connections and prevent accidental disengagement during operation.
• Utilizes PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) housing material for enhanced durability and resistance to harsh environmental conditions.

Applications

• Mission-critical electronic systems requiring high I/O capacity
• Applications subject to high mechanical stress such as vibration and shock
• Harsh environment industrial equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official Harwin datasheet to confirm the exact contact plating, housing color, and latch configuration. Ensure compatibility with mating sockets from the same Datamate L-Tek series. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications (PCN) that may affect material composition or manufacturing location. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 14-position vertical header is needed for space-constrained designs utilizing a 2 mm pitch. It is suitable for applications demanding high reliability and mechanical stability due to its latched design and robust contact structure. Consider the operating temperature range and voltage rating to ensure alignment with system requirements. Evaluate the need for board-to-board versus wire-to-board connectivity options.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek series, a line of connectors designed for safety-critical and high-reliability applications. The series is known for its ability to withstand extreme mechanical stresses and repeated mating cycles without performance degradation. The M80-8531442 specifically expands the contact count compared to lower-pin variants, offering increased I/O density while maintaining the series' standard form factor and interface characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the Datamate L-Tek family include M80-8530442 (4 positions) and M80-8531242 (12 positions) for different I/O requirements. Cross-series replacements are not recommended due to potential differences in latch mechanisms and contact geometry. Verify that any alternative maintains the 2 mm pitch and dual-row configuration.
