M80-8692022

Overview

The Harwin M80-8692022 is a Datamate L-Tek male connector housing designed for board-to-board applications. It features a double in-line (DIL) configuration with 20 positions, arranged as 10+10 contacts. The connector utilizes a 2mm pitch and is intended for vertical through-board mounting with 3mm PCB terminations. This specific variant is an unlatched version, meaning it does not include integrated locking latches on the housing. The contacts are gold-plated to ensure reliable signal transmission, while the termination pins are tin-lead alloy for soldering compatibility.

Feature Summary

• Double row male connector design for high-density interconnects
• Unlatched housing structure for simplified mating cycles
• Gold-plated contact surfaces for corrosion resistance
• Vertical orientation compatible with standard through-hole processes

Applications

• High-reliability industrial control systems
• Aerospace and defense avionics assemblies
• Medical equipment internal connections
• Harsh environment instrumentation modules

Procurement Notes

Verify that the unlatched housing specification meets the mechanical retention requirements of the target assembly, as this part lacks integral locking features. Confirm that the 3mm tail length aligns with the PCB thickness and solder mask clearance. Ensure that the gold contact finish is suitable for the intended signal integrity and wear cycle expectations compared to alternative tin or silver options within the Datamate family.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, high-cycle male connector is required without the need for built-in mechanical latching. The 2mm pitch allows for compact board layouts, while the gold plating supports frequent mating operations. Consider complementary unlatched female counterparts from the same series to maintain system consistency. Evaluate the 3mm termination height against the available vertical space in the enclosure design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Harwin Datamate L-Tek series, which is engineered for demanding environments requiring high vibration and shock resistance. The series is known for its four-finger beryllium copper contact technology, ensuring connection integrity under severe conditions. The M80-8692022 represents the male plug variant, providing the counterpart interface for the corresponding female socket connectors in the Datamate ecosystem.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other unlatched male connectors from the Harwin Datamate L-Tek series with matching 2mm pitch and 20-position DIL configuration. Verify that any replacement maintains the same gold contact plating and vertical through-board termination style to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability.
