M80-8630842

Overview

The Harwin M80-8630842 is a Datamate L-Tek series male header connector designed for power-to-board applications. It features an 8-position, double-row configuration with a 2.0mm pitch. The component utilizes vertical through-hole solder termination with a 3mm PC tail length. Contacts are selectively plated with gold and tin to ensure reliable signal transmission and secure mounting. The housing is polarized and fully shrouded, incorporating friction latches for mating stability.

Feature Summary

• Polarized and fully shrouded molded housing design
• Friction latch mechanism for secure mating engagement
• Selective contact plating combining gold and tin finishes

Applications

• Power distribution in compact electronic assemblies
• Interconnection between circuit boards and wire harnesses
• High-reliability industrial control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the obsolete lifecycle status before procurement planning. Confirm that the specific friction latch and selective plating requirements align with system needs. Ensure compatibility with corresponding female connectors within the Datamate L-Tek family. Review datasheet specifications for mechanical retention and thermal performance limits during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring robust mechanical retention via friction latches. The dual material contact plating supports mixed signal and power routing. Verify that the 3mm tail height fits within the enclosure constraints. Ensure mating partners are compatible with the 2.0mm pitch and double-row geometry.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Datamate L-Tek product line from Harwin, which specializes in high-density interconnect solutions. The series is characterized by its modular design and reliability in demanding environments. This specific male header variant complements the broader ecosystem of compatible female sockets and accessories.

Replacement Considerations

The manufacturer lists this part as obsolete. No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed in the provided documentation. Designers must evaluate alternative connectors from the same or different families based on pin count, pitch, and mechanical interface requirements.
