M80-8770422

Overview

The Harwin M80-8770422 is a Datamate L-Tek male header featuring four positions with a 2 mm pitch. It utilizes a single row of through-hole solder pin terminals for secure board mounting. The connector employs phosphor bronze contacts with tin plating to ensure reliable electrical performance. Designed for vertical orientation, it includes an integrated latch mechanism to prevent accidental disengagement during operation.

Feature Summary

• Integrated mechanical latch system ensures secure mating and prevents unintended separation
• Vertical straight-through hole design facilitates compact PCB layout integration
• Tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable conductivity

Applications

• Wire-to-board interconnections in industrial control systems
• Secure signal routing in automotive electronic modules
• Compact power distribution in consumer electronics assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating configuration and housing material composition against the official Harwin datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the vertical orientation and latch mechanism align with the assembly requirements. Ensure compatibility with mating female connectors within the Datamate L-Tek series to guarantee proper mechanical engagement and electrical continuity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, vertically oriented header with positive locking capability is required. The 2 mm pitch allows for dense circuit board arrangements while maintaining adequate spacing for high-current applications. The tin plating offers cost-effective durability for general-purpose environments where gold plating is not strictly necessary.

Part Context
