M80-8532042

Overview

The Harwin M80-8532042 is a Datamate L-Tek series PCB header featuring a 20-position, dual-row configuration with a 2mm pitch. Designed for board-to-board and wire-to-board connections, it utilizes through-hole mounting with straight orientation. The connector supports a maximum voltage of 120V and a current rating of 3A. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The housing is constructed from PPS material, while contacts are made of phosphor bronze with gold plating. The component includes a cover and has a tail pin length of 3mm.

Feature Summary

• Datamate L-Tek series design with integrated locking latch mechanism
• Shrouded structure ensuring secure mating alignment
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for reliable conductivity
• Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) housing for thermal stability

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• Industrial control systems
• Consumer electronics assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the presence of the locking latch, as variants such as M80-8542042 lack this feature. Ensure compatibility with corresponding Datamate L-Tek sockets. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration into production workflows.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a shrouded, dual-row header with a 2mm pitch is required. The 3mm tail length suits standard through-hole processes. Consider the 120V rating and 3A current capacity against circuit demands. Verify that the locking latch requirement aligns with mechanical retention needs in the final assembly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Harwin Datamate L-Tek family, known for high-reliability interconnect solutions. The M80 prefix indicates a specific product line within the broader Datamate ecosystem. This series is engineered for compact applications requiring robust mechanical and electrical performance in space-constrained environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include M80-8542042, which shares identical electrical and mechanical specifications but lacks the integrated locking latch. Cross-series replacements require verification of pitch, row count, and contact material compatibility.

FAQ
