M80-8631822

Overview

The M80-8631822 is a 18-position rectangular header connector from the Harwin Datamate L-Tek series. It features a double-row configuration with a 2mm (0.079 inch) pin spacing. The connector utilizes male pins with tin plating and is designed for vertical through-hole solder termination. Constructed with polarized, fully shrouded housings, it ensures secure mating with compatible female counterparts.

Feature Summary

• Double-row design with polarized housing for reliable alignment
• Fully shrouded contacts to prevent misalignment during insertion
• Vertical through-hole mounting for standard PCB integration

Applications

• Embedded system interconnections
• Power supply unit connections
• Automotive electronic modules

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific tin-plated variant matches the application requirements, as gold-plated versions are also available in this series. Confirm the vertical orientation and through-hole pitch align with the target PCB layout. Ensure mating connectors are selected from the corresponding female Datamate L-Tek range to guarantee proper mechanical engagement and electrical continuity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, double-row male header with tin plating is required for 2mm pitch applications. Consider the M80-5431822 if surface mount technology is preferred over through-hole installation. Evaluate the M80-8631822 against gold-plated alternatives if higher corrosion resistance or lower contact resistance is critical for the operational environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Harwin Datamate L-Tek family, known for high-reliability interconnects. The M80 series is widely used in demanding environments including automotive and industrial sectors. The 18-position variant provides a balanced density for data and power distribution within compact form factors typical of modern electronic assemblies.
