M80-8810242

Overview

The M80-8810242 is a 2-position vertical header connector from the Datamate L-Tek series by Harwin Inc. It features a 2 mm (0.079 in) pitch and utilizes friction latch locking for secure board-to-board or cable connections. The contacts are male pins with a tin finish, housed in black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) insulation rated UL94 V-0. Designed for through-hole mounting, it supports a current rating of 2.2A and a voltage rating of 800V. The operating temperature range spans from -55°C to +125°C, ensuring reliability in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• Vertical orientation design facilitates compact board-to-board stacking.
• Friction latch mechanism provides secure mechanical retention without screws.
• Tin-plated male contacts ensure reliable electrical conductivity.
• High-voltage rating of 800V accommodates diverse power applications.

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnects in industrial control systems
• Cable connections within automotive electronics modules
• Military equipment signal routing
• General purpose electronic assemblies requiring high voltage isolation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact finish and housing material against the official datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the friction latch style matches the mating component requirements. Ensure the through-hole termination method aligns with the manufacturing process. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation if required by the project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, vertically oriented header is needed for 2-position connections. The 2mm pitch allows for dense circuit layouts. Consider the 800V rating for applications exceeding standard low-voltage limits. The tin finish offers cost-effectiveness compared to gold while maintaining adequate performance for general use.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, which focuses on robust, screw-lock or friction-latch rectangular connectors. The M80-8810242 specifically represents the single-row, vertical header variant within this ecosystem, designed for high-reliability interconnects in harsh environments.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Cross-reference with other Harwin Datamate L-Tek headers for similar pin counts and pitches if direct substitution is not possible.
