M80-8631845

Overview

The M80-8631845 is a Datamate Mix-Tek series connector receptacle featuring 18 positions in a dual in-line configuration. It utilizes a 2.00mm (0.079 inch) pin spacing and employs friction latch locking for secure mating. The component supports crimp termination for 24-28 AWG wires, with gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. Designed for free-hanging or panel mounting applications, it offers robust mechanical stability within its specified operating environment.

Feature Summary

• Friction latched mechanism provides secure connection without screws
• Gold-plated contacts ensure corrosion resistance and conductivity
• Crimp termination compatible with standard wire gauges
• Dual row layout maximizes density in compact spaces

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring secure wiring
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces
• Automotive electronics harness connections
• General purpose board-to-wire interconnects

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Harwin documentation to confirm exact contact plating thickness and housing material variations. Ensure compatibility with corresponding male pins from the same Datamate family. Confirm that the friction latch style matches the assembly requirements rather than screw-lock variants. Cross-reference the crimp tool specifications with the manufacturer's recommended accessories for proper termination.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-latching or friction-locked receptacle is required for high-density wiring. Compare against screw-lock versions if vibration resistance is critical, as friction latches may differ in retention force. Verify the wire gauge range aligns with the termination method used in the design. Consider the overall height and panel cutout dimensions to ensure mechanical fit within the enclosure constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate Mix-Tek line, which combines the durability of metal shells with plastic housing options. It is designed for environments demanding reliable performance under moderate stress. The series supports various termination styles including crimp and solder, allowing flexibility in manufacturing processes while maintaining consistent electrical characteristics across the product family.
