M80-8541642

Overview

The Harwin M80-8541642 is a Datamate L-Tek series male PCB header featuring a 2mm pitch and 16 contacts arranged in a double-row configuration. Designed for vertical through-hole mounting, it utilizes gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts housed in PPS plastic. The connector supports board-to-board and wire-to-board systems with a current rating of 3A and voltage rating of 120V. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and includes 3mm tail pins for solder termination.

Feature Summary

• High-reliability four-finger beryllium copper contact design ensures connection integrity in harsh environments.
• Durable construction withstands high vibration, shock, and acceleration without performance degradation.
• Latch-free housing design allows for flexible integration in secure or space-constrained applications.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust connectivity under mechanical stress
• Automotive electronics operating in extreme temperature conditions
• Medical equipment demanding high cycle durability and safety

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact count and row configuration against project requirements, as the Datamate L-Tek series offers various pin counts. Confirm that the latch-free housing variant aligns with the assembly process, since latched versions provide different retention characteristics. Ensure compatibility with mating sockets from the same series to maintain electrical and mechanical specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, through-hole male header with a 2mm pitch is required for high-reliability applications. The latch-free design is suitable where external retention mechanisms are preferred or space is limited. Consider the 3A current rating and 120V voltage limit to ensure they meet the system's electrical demands.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for its ruggedness and suitability for safety-critical applications. The series is engineered to maintain performance in恶劣 (harsh) environments, including those with significant vibration and shock. The L-Tek variant specifically denotes the latch-free housing option within the broader Datamate ecosystem.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Harwin Datamate L-Tek headers with identical 2mm pitch, double-row layout, and 16 contacts, such as M80-8511642 if available. Verify that any replacement maintains the same through-hole termination style and vertical orientation to ensure PCB footprint compatibility.
