M80-8770205

Overview

The M80-8770205 is a 2-position male header connector from the Harwin Datamate L-Tek series. It features a 2.00mm pitch and single in-line (SIL) configuration. The connector utilizes vertical mounting with friction latch retention for secure board attachment. Contacts are designed for crimp termination, supporting wire gauges typically within the 22-28 AWG range for this series. The housing is black thermoplastic, and contacts feature gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission in low-power applications.

Feature Summary

• Vertical panel or board mount design with integrated friction lock mechanism
• Single row, two-position layout for compact circuit integration
• Crimp termination style compatible with discrete wire assemblies
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for corrosion resistance

Applications

• Low-voltage signal interconnection in industrial control panels
• Data acquisition modules requiring secure vertical headers
• Test and measurement equipment front-end interfaces
• Compact electronic subsystems with limited vertical space

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating thickness and wire gauge compatibility against the official datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the friction latch variant matches the assembly requirements, as other versions may use jackscrews. Ensure the crimp tooling aligns with the specified terminal type to maintain connection integrity during manufacturing.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, vertically oriented header with positive locking is required. The 2.00mm pitch allows for dense packing while maintaining adequate spacing. Consider the friction latch feature if vibration resistance is needed without additional fasteners. Validate that the current rating of the series meets the application's electrical demands.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for high-reliability interconnects. The M80-877 series specifically denotes vertical male headers with friction locks. It complements socket counterparts and cable assemblies within the same pitch ecosystem, enabling modular system expansion and standardized connectivity across Harwin’s power-to-board solutions.

Replacement Considerations

M80-8770242 is a documented alternative within the same series offering similar specifications.
