M80-8550605

Overview

The M80-8550605 is a Datamate L-Tek series header connector manufactured by Harwin. It features a vertical through-hole mounting style with six positions arranged in a single row. The connector utilizes a 2 mm pitch and accepts 24-28 AWG wire gauges. Contact materials consist of phosphor bronze with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. The housing is constructed from black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), providing thermal stability and mechanical strength. Rated for 3 A current and 120 V voltage, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• High-reliability four-finger beryllium copper contact structure ensures connection integrity under vibration and shock.
• Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) housing material offers robust thermal resistance and durability.
• Gold-plated contacts provide low contact resistance and corrosion protection for consistent performance.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high reliability
• Automotive electronics subject to vibration and shock
• Harsh environment instrumentation
• Power distribution modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number M80-8550605 against official Harwin documentation to confirm pin count, orientation, and termination type. Ensure compatibility with mating sockets regarding latch mechanisms and housing dimensions. Cross-reference RoHS compliance status and lead times with authorized distributors prior to ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications demanding secure board-to-wire connections with high cycle life. The vertical orientation suits space-constrained PCB layouts. Verify that the 2 mm pitch aligns with existing design constraints. Confirm that the 3 A current rating meets the circuit requirements without derating issues at maximum operating temperatures.

Part Context

This connector belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, designed for safety-critical applications. The series emphasizes durability through specialized contact geometry. It supports both latched and unlatched configurations. The M80 prefix indicates the specific product line within the broader Harwin connector portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available for direct replacement. Evaluate compatible headers within the same Datamate L-Tek series based on matching pitch, position count, and mounting style.
