M80-8940301

Overview

The M80-8940301 is a Datamate L-Tek board connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a 3-position female socket configuration with a 2.00 mm (0.079 inch) mating pitch. Designed for vertical through-hole mounting, the unit utilizes solder terminals for secure PCB attachment. The contacts are gold-plated to ensure reliable signal transmission. This component belongs to the high-reliability Datamate series, engineered for robust performance in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• High-reliability four-finger beryllium copper contact design
• Polarized housing prevents misalignment during mating
• Full shrouded enclosure protects internal contacts
• Vertical right-angle orientation for space-efficient layouts

Applications

• Military and aerospace electronic systems
• Medical instrumentation and diagnostic equipment
• Industrial automation and control panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the obsolete status of this specific part number before finalizing procurement plans. Confirm compatibility with mating male headers from the same Datamate L-Tek series. Ensure that the vertical through-hole footprint matches the target PCB layout. Check for available replacement alternatives if lead times or availability are critical constraints for the project timeline.

Selection Notes

Select this connector when a compact, high-density interface is required for vertical board-to-board connections. The 2.00 mm pitch allows for significant pin count within limited surface areas. Consider the gold plating for corrosion resistance in harsh environments. Verify that the mating counterpart supports the locking mechanism provided by the jackscrew system.
