M80-8631222

Overview

The M80-8631222 is a Datamate L-Tek male header connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a 2-row, 12-position configuration with a 2 mm (0.079 in) pitch. Designed for through-hole mounting, the connector utilizes right-angle solder pin termination. The contacts are constructed from phosphor bronze and finished with gold plating to ensure reliable conductivity. The housing is made of black polyester, providing shrouded contact protection. This component supports a maximum operating temperature of +125 C and a minimum of -55 C, with a current rating of 3 A and voltage rating of 120 V.

Feature Summary

• Datamate L-Tek series design with fully shrouded contacts for secure mating

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number M80-8631222 matches the required right-angle orientation and gold plating finish. Confirm that the 2 mm pitch and 12-position count align with the PCB footprint design. Ensure compatibility with mating female connectors within the same Datamate L-Tek family. Check for any RoHS compliance requirements relevant to the target assembly environment before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this connector when a right-angle, shrouded male header is required for dense circuit layouts. The 2 mm pitch allows for compact board spacing while maintaining robust mechanical stability. Gold plating is suitable for applications requiring low contact resistance and corrosion resistance. Consider the 3 A current rating to ensure it meets the electrical load requirements of the specific circuit traces.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Harwin Datamate L-Tek family, known for its modular connectivity solutions. The M80 prefix indicates a standard header configuration within the broader M80 series. It is designed to mate with corresponding female sockets, such as those in the M80-84x series, to form complete cable-to-board or board-to-board connection systems.
