M80-8871601

Overview

The M80-8871601 is a Datamate L-Tek female socket assembly manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a 2-row, double in-line (DIL) configuration with 8+8 positions, totaling 16 contacts. The connector utilizes a 2 mm pitch and is designed for vertical through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. Contact surfaces are finished with tin plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. The housing is constructed from black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), providing structural integrity and thermal resistance suitable for industrial environments.

Feature Summary

• Vertical through-hole termination design for direct PCB integration
• Double in-line layout accommodating 16 discrete connections
• Tin-plated contact surfaces for corrosion resistance
• Polyphenylene sulfide housing material for high thermal stability

Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Automotive electronic module wiring
• General purpose board-to-board connections
• Military communication equipment harnesses

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating finish against project requirements, as datasheet references indicate tin plating for this part number. Confirm that the vertical orientation aligns with the mechanical constraints of the target enclosure. Ensure compatibility with mating male pins from the same Datamate series to maintain proper engagement force and alignment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile vertical connection is required for 16 signals. The 2 mm pitch allows for dense packing compared to larger spacing standards. Consider the tin plating option if cost efficiency is prioritized over extended cycle life, as gold plating offers superior durability but at a higher specification tier within the same series.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, which specializes in compact, high-density interconnect solutions. The L-Tek variant typically denotes specific locking mechanisms or housing geometries optimized for space-constrained applications. It serves as a critical interface node between flexible cabling and rigid circuit boards in complex electronic assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

M80-8871645 is a parameter-equivalent alternative within the same series. Verify that the pin count and pitch remain identical before substitution. Cross-reference the locking mechanism type to ensure mechanical compatibility with existing mating connectors.
