M80-8550822

Overview

The Harwin M80-8550822 is a Datamate L-Tek series header and wire housing designed for board-to-board and wire-to-board connections. It features an 8-position, 2-row configuration with a 2 mm pitch. The connector utilizes male pin contacts made of phosphor bronze with gold plating, rated for 3 A current and 120 V voltage. It employs a vertical orientation with a friction latch mechanism and through-hole solder termination. The black housing is constructed from polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), supporting operation within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.
