M80-8540845

Overview

The Harwin M80-8540845 is a Datamate L-Tek series header connector designed for power-to-board applications. It features an 8-position, 2-row configuration with a 2 mm pitch. The component utilizes male pin contacts made of phosphor bronze with gold plating, rated for 3 A current and 120 V voltage. Constructed with a PPS housing, it supports through-hole solder termination in a straight mounting style. The connector operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and includes a cover for protection.

Feature Summary

• High-reliability four-finger beryllium copper alloy contacts ensure connection integrity under vibration and shock.
• Durable design withstands high mating cycles without performance degradation.
• Suitable for safety-critical applications in harsh environments.

Applications

• Safety-critical industrial systems
• High-vibration mechanical equipment
• Harsh environment electronic assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact count and row configuration against the official datasheet to ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint. Confirm that the gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts meet the required electrical conductivity standards for the intended circuit load. Ensure the through-hole solder termination method aligns with the manufacturing process capabilities.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a robust, high-cycle life connector is required for board-to-board or wire-to-board connections. The L-Tek series offers optional latch versions; verify if the non-latched version suits the mechanical constraints. Consider the operating temperature range and environmental exposure to determine if additional sealing or coating is necessary beyond the standard cover.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Harwin Datamate L-Tek family, which provides versatile interconnection solutions. The M80 prefix indicates the specific series within the broader product line. It is distinct from the J-Tek variant by its specific housing material and contact retention features, tailored for demanding industrial and automotive sectors requiring high durability.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify cross-compatibility with other Harwin M80 series headers only if the pin count, pitch, and termination type match exactly.
