M80-8820242

Overview

The M80-8820242 is a Datamate L-Tek series connector featuring a single-row, two-position male header. It utilizes a 2.00mm pitch and employs vertical through-hole termination for PCB mounting. The assembly incorporates gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts housed in a black UL94 V-0 polyamide (nylon) 46 body. Designed for board-to-board or wire-to-board applications, it supports a rated current of 3A and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Vertical through-hole pin header configuration
• Gold and tin contact finish for reliable conductivity
• UL94 V-0 rated polyamide housing material
• Latch mechanism for secure mating

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• Industrial control systems
• Consumer electronics assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and RoHS compliance status directly with Harwin Inc. before procurement. Confirm that the vertical orientation and through-hole tail length match the target PCB layout requirements. Ensure compatibility with corresponding female sockets from the same Datamate L-Tek family to guarantee proper mechanical engagement and electrical performance.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row male header is required for vertical PCB insertion. The 2mm pitch suits dense layouts, while the 3A rating accommodates moderate power signals. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified thermal limits and that the latch style aligns with the mating connector's retention method.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, designed for high-reliability interconnects. It complements female sockets and other headers within the same series. The vertical design facilitates direct board stacking or wiring, distinguishing it from right-angle or surface-mount variants in the broader connector portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Harwin Datamate L-Tek male headers with identical 2-position, 2mm pitch, and vertical through-hole specifications. Cross-brand replacements require matching pitch, current rating, and housing material properties to ensure mechanical fit and electrical continuity.
