M80-8634442

Overview

The M80-8634442 is a Datamate L-Tek header connector from Harwin Inc., designed for board-to-board or cable applications. It features a surface mount, right-angle installation style with a 2mm (0.079in) mating pitch and 2mm row spacing. The assembly comprises 4 positions arranged in a dual in-line configuration (2+2). It utilizes male pins with gold plating on the mating interface and tin plating on the tail. The housing is constructed from black polyamide material rated UL94 V-0, providing an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Friction latched design ensures secure mechanical retention without additional locking hardware
• Right-angle surface mount termination facilitates compact PCB layout orientation
• Dual in-line male pin configuration supports standard mating socket assemblies

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnection systems requiring right-angle mounting
• Cable-to-board connections utilizing compatible Datamate harnesses
• Compact electronic assemblies constrained by vertical space limitations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '442' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm the exact contact count and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with the intended mating socket series, as friction latch mechanisms require precise alignment. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as availability may vary by region.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a right-angle, surface-mount header with friction latching is required. The 2mm pitch and 4-position count define the electrical capacity. Verify that the mating partner is a female socket assembly compatible with the Datamate L-Tek system. Consider the thermal rating and insulation material properties for the target operating environment.
