M80-8661822

Overview

The M80-8661822 is a Datamate L-Tek series header connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a 12-position (6+6) dual in-line configuration with a 2.00mm pitch. The connector utilizes male pin contacts made of phosphor bronze, gold-plated for reliable signal transmission. Designed for right-angle through-hole mounting, it supports wire sizes ranging from 24 to 28 AWG. The housing is constructed from black polyester material, rated for operation between -55°C and +125°C, with electrical ratings of 3A current and 120V.

Feature Summary

• Datamate L-Tek series connectivity with secure latching mechanism
• Right-angle through-hole termination for PCB integration
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for durability
• High-temperature resistant polyester housing

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Automotive electronics harnesses
• Consumer device internal wiring
• General purpose board-to-board connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '22' corresponds to tin plating if required, as datasheets may list gold variants. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors, as some older stock may not meet current directives. Ensure mating connectors are selected from the same Datamate L-Tek family to guarantee mechanical fit and electrical performance.

Selection Notes

Select this component when right-angle through-hole mounting is necessary for space-constrained designs. The 2.00mm pitch allows for dense circuit layouts. Consider the 3A current rating for power distribution needs. Verify that the operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C meets environmental requirements. Compare against J-Tek or Mix-Tek series if different locking mechanisms or contact types are preferred.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for its versatile interconnect solutions. It complements female cable connectors and other header variants within the same pitch system. The L-Tek series emphasizes ease of assembly and reliable performance in demanding environments, offering various pin counts and termination styles to suit diverse electronic applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include M80-8661842 (gold plated variant) and M80-8661801 (tin plated, potentially different packaging). Cross-reference with M80-8661825 for alternative plating options. Ensure any replacement maintains the 2.00mm pitch and 12-position count for mechanical compatibility.
