M80-8911605

Overview

The M80-8911605 is a 16-position female cable connector from the Datamate L-Tek series by Harwin Inc. It features a 2mm (0.079 inch) pitch and a single row configuration. Designed for crimp termination, it accommodates wire gauges typically associated with large-hole variants in this series. The unit utilizes gold-plated beryllium copper contacts housed in a black thermoplastic casing, rated for operation between -55°C and +125°C.

Feature Summary

• High-reliability four-finger contact design ensures stability under vibration and shock
• Polarized housing prevents misalignment during mating
• Full enclosure protects internal contacts from environmental contaminants

Applications

• Aerospace and aviation systems
• Military equipment interconnects
• Medical device assemblies
• Industrial robotics control units

Procurement Notes

Verify specific wire gauge compatibility against official datasheets, as large-hole variants differ from standard small-hole models. Confirm that the single-row female configuration matches the mating header requirements. Ensure environmental ratings meet operational temperature extremes before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring robust signal integrity in harsh environments. The polarized design reduces assembly errors. Verify that the crimp tooling supports the specific contact type. Consider the operating temperature range when evaluating thermal stress on the thermoplastic housing.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, known for compact 2mm spacing and high durability. It complements male headers like the M80-841 series. The series is engineered for COTS projects demanding reliability across multiple mating cycles without performance degradation.

Replacement Considerations

M80-8911601: Same series but different position count. M80-8911645: SMT variant of similar configuration. Cross-reference pin counts and termination methods carefully.
