M80-8970305

Overview

The Harwin M80-8970305 is a Datamate L-Tek single-in-line (SIL) cable connector housing designed for power-to-board applications. It features a female socket configuration with three positions and a 2 mm pitch. The unit utilizes a crimp termination method suitable for wire gauges ranging from 24 to 28 AWG. Constructed with gold-plated contacts, it ensures reliable signal integrity in demanding environments. The connector supports a maximum operating temperature of +125°C and a minimum of -55°C. It is part of the high-reliability Datamate series, engineered for robust performance in sectors such as aerospace, defense, and telecommunications.

Feature Summary

• Features a compact single-in-line design with a 2 mm pitch for space-constrained installations.
• Utilizes gold-plated beryllium copper contacts to ensure durability and low contact resistance.
• Includes polarization mechanisms to prevent misalignment and incorrect mating during assembly.
• Designed with a full enclosure to protect internal contacts from environmental contaminants.

Applications

• Aerospace and aviation electronic systems
• Defense and security communication equipment
• Telecommunications infrastructure hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and RoHS compliance status directly with Harwin or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the intended wire gauge falls within the 24-28 AWG range specified for this housing variant. Ensure compatibility with the corresponding Datamate L-Tek male pins and required crimping tools for proper assembly and mechanical integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, three-position female connector is required for 24-28 AWG wiring. It is appropriate for applications needing high vibration resistance and environmental sealing. Consider the 2 mm pitch constraint against available board or cable space. Verify that the mating counterpart matches the Datamate L-Tek male specification to ensure correct engagement and electrical continuity.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Harwin Datamate Mix-Tek and L-Tek families, which are established standards for high-reliability interconnects. These connectors are widely recognized in industrial and military sectors for their ability to withstand harsh conditions. The M80-8970305 specifically addresses the need for small-form-factor, high-density connections in critical systems where failure is not an option.
