M80-8531645

Overview

The M80-8531645 is a Datamate L-Tek double in-line female header manufactured by Harwin. It features an 8+8 position configuration with a 2 mm pitch and two rows. Designed for through-hole mounting, this straight connector utilizes gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts housed in black thermoplastic insulation. The component supports board-to-board and wire-to-board applications, rated for 120 V and 3 A, with an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Features high-reliability four-finger beryllium copper contact structure ensuring connection integrity under vibration and shock
• Offers optional latch or unlatch versions for secure mating in demanding environments
• Utilizes durable construction capable of withstanding repeated insertion cycles without performance degradation

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections requiring high reliability
• Wire-to-board connections in industrial systems
• Applications subject to high vibration, shock, or acceleration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the presence of hexagonal jackscrews or latches, as these variants affect mechanical locking functionality. Ensure compatibility with mating male headers from the same Datamate series. Confirm that the through-hole termination method aligns with the target PCB manufacturing capabilities and soldering profiles.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2 mm pitch female header is required for robust signal transmission. Consider the L-Tek series for general connectivity needs where standard durability suffices. Evaluate the need for mechanical locking mechanisms based on environmental stress factors. Compare current ratings against system requirements to ensure the 3 A limit is not exceeded during operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, designed for high-reliability interconnect solutions. The series emphasizes durability in harsh conditions, utilizing specialized contact geometries. It serves as a critical link in electronic assemblies where consistent electrical performance and mechanical stability are paramount across varying thermal and physical stresses.
