M80-8970605

Overview

The Harwin M80-8970605 is a 6-position female connector from the Datamate L-Tek series. It features a 2.00mm (0.079 inch) pitch and utilizes a single in-line configuration. The component is designed for vertical board-to-board or cable applications with a through-hole termination style. It includes latch mechanisms compatible with DIL L-Tek housings.

Feature Summary

• Vertical orientation for direct PCB mounting
• Integrated latch mechanism for secure mating
• Gold-plated contacts for reliable conductivity

Applications

• Board-to-board interconnects
• Cable-to-board connections
• Industrial control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific housing compatibility, as this connector requires matching DIL L-Tek housings with integrated latches. Confirm that the vertical mounting style aligns with the mechanical constraints of the target assembly. Ensure the contact count matches the system requirements before finalizing the order.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a vertical, low-profile connection is required within the Datamate ecosystem. The L-Tek series offers robust locking compared to standard J-Tek options. Consider the 2.00mm pitch constraint and verify that the available pin count meets the circuit design needs without requiring parallel connectors.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate L-Tek family, which distinguishes itself by incorporating integral latching mechanisms into the housing design. This series provides enhanced retention force compared to non-latching variants, making it suitable for high-vibration environments where secure mating is critical for long-term reliability.

Replacement Considerations

M80-8970605 does not have a direct cross-referenced substitute listed in public databases. Verify if M80-8970642 serves as a functional alternative if packaging differences are acceptable, though exact mechanical equivalence must be confirmed via official datasheets.
