M80-8910801

Overview

The M80-8910801 is an 8-position female receptacle connector from the Harwin Datamate L-Tek series. It features a 2.00mm (0.079 inch) double in-line arrangement with gold-plated contacts designed for reliable signal transmission. The component utilizes a crimp termination method suitable for discrete wiring applications and is constructed with a black thermoplastic housing. Rated for 3A current and 300V voltage, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. This free-hanging cable mount connector ensures secure connections in demanding environments through its robust four-finger beryllium copper contact design.

Feature Summary

• Features a four-finger beryllium copper contact design to ensure connection integrity under high vibration and shock conditions.
• Utilizes gold plating on contacts to provide corrosion resistance and stable electrical performance over repeated mating cycles.
• Incorporates a latch mechanism for secure engagement between male and female connector halves.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high reliability
• Medical equipment subject to frequent cleaning or harsh environments
• Automotive electronics exposed to vibration and shock

Procurement Notes

Verify that the selected variant matches the specific pin count and termination style required for the assembly. Confirm compatibility with the corresponding male header from the same Datamate L-Tek series. Ensure the crimping tool used is appropriate for the specified wire gauge to maintain contact integrity. Check environmental ratings against operational requirements such as temperature extremes and chemical exposure.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, high-reliability cable-to-board interface is needed. The L-Tek series offers superior durability compared to standard connectors due to its unique contact geometry. Consider the operating voltage and current limits to ensure they align with system demands. Evaluate the need for latching mechanisms if mechanical stability during operation is critical.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for its high-cycle life and resistance to harsh conditions. The series supports various configurations including board-to-board and cable-to-board connections. It is widely used in sectors where failure is not an option, leveraging advanced materials and precision engineering for consistent performance.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Harwin Datamate L-Tek receptacles with identical pin counts and termination methods. Verify that any alternative part maintains the same 2.00mm pitch and gender specifications. Cross-reference mating parts to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility without modification.
