M80-8970401

Overview

The M80-8970401 is a Datamate L-Tek series receptacle connector manufactured by Harwin Inc. It features a dual-in-line configuration with 7 positions, designed for through-hole board mounting. The connector utilizes female socket contacts made from beryllium copper, finished with a gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. It operates within a voltage rating of 800V and supports current ratings up to 3A per contact. The housing is constructed from black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), providing high thermal stability and mechanical strength. This component is part of the broader Datamate ecosystem, offering robust interconnection solutions for industrial applications.
