M80-8870805

Overview

The M80-8870805 is an 8-position female socket connector from the Harwin Datamate L-Tek series. It features a 2-row dual in-line (DIL) configuration with a 2.00mm (0.079 inch) pin spacing. Designed for through-hole mounting, it utilizes solder termination for secure PCB attachment. The contacts are made of beryllium copper and finished with gold plating, specifically 10.0μin (0.25μm) thickness on the posts. The housing is black thermoplastic, suitable for vertical orientation.

Feature Summary

• Dual row DIL configuration for compact high-density interconnects
• Through-hole solder termination for robust board attachment
• Gold-plated beryllium copper contacts ensuring reliable conductivity

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring durable interconnects
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces
• General-purpose electronic assemblies needing reliable signal transmission

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact plating thickness and housing material variant. Confirm that the through-hole footprint aligns with the target PCB design constraints. Ensure compatibility with mating male headers from the same Datamate L-Tek family to guarantee proper mechanical engagement and electrical performance.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, dual-row female connector is required for through-hole applications. The 2.00mm pitch allows for moderate density without excessive board space usage. Consider the gold plating thickness for corrosion resistance needs. Ensure the mating header supports the intended current load and environmental conditions specified for the L-Tek series.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for its small form factor and reliability. It serves as a female receptacle counterpart to male headers. The L-Tek series is widely used in applications demanding high durability and consistent performance in harsh environments, distinguishing it from standard generic connectors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the Harwin Datamate L-Tek series with identical 8-position, 2-row, through-hole specifications should be considered. Verify that any alternative maintains the 2.00mm pitch and compatible housing dimensions to ensure interchangeability without redesigning the PCB layout.
