M80-8544445

Overview

The M80-8544445 is a Datamate L-Tek male header connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a 2-row, 44-position configuration with a 2 mm pitch. Designed for vertical through-board mounting, it utilizes solder pin termination. The contacts are gold-plated beryllium copper, rated for 3 A current and 120 V voltage. Operating temperature ranges from -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Datamate L-Tek series designed for high-reliability applications in harsh environments
• Four-finger beryllium copper contact design ensures connection integrity under vibration and shock
• Vertical orientation facilitates board-to-board or wire-to-board interconnections

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust connectivity
• Medical equipment subject to strict reliability standards
• Automotive electronics exposed to mechanical stress

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating and latch configuration. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles within the same Datamate L-Tek family. Confirm that the vertical mounting style aligns with the PCB layout requirements. Check for any recent product change notifications affecting material specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, vertically oriented male header is required. The 2 mm pitch allows for compact circuit board designs. Consider the gold plating for corrosion resistance and low contact resistance. Evaluate the mechanical strength provided by the four-finger contact design against environmental conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for durability in demanding applications. The M80 prefix indicates a standard connector system. As a male header, it mates with female sockets to establish electrical pathways. The design supports repeated engagement cycles without performance degradation.
