M83-LMT2M3N36-0000-000

Overview

The Harwin M83-LMT2M3N36-0000-000 is a Datamate J-Tek header connector featuring 3 rows and 36 positions. It utilizes male pin contacts with gold plating for reliable signal transmission. The component employs a vertical through-board mounting style with solder terminals. A key design feature is the integrated jackscrew mechanism, which provides secure mating retention. The housing is constructed from high-performance thermoplastic material suitable for industrial environments.

Feature Summary

• Integrates internal threaded jackscrews for positive mechanical locking during mating cycles
• Features shrouded housing design to ensure correct alignment and prevent misinsertion
• Supports vertical board mounting with standard solder tail termination for PCB integration

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces
• Automotive electronics modules
• Medical device signal connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact count and row configuration against project requirements before ordering. Confirm that the vertical orientation and jackscrew type match the assembly constraints. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply. Ensure the solder tail length accommodates the target PCB thickness. Validate compatibility with corresponding female housings in the same series.

Selection Notes

Select this part when high-reliability mechanical retention is critical for the application. The jackscrew system offers superior vibration resistance compared to standard latches. Consider the vertical profile for space-constrained board layouts. Evaluate the current rating limits relative to the expected load. Ensure the mating connector supports the same pitch and row arrangement.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Datamate J-Tek family, known for high-density interconnect solutions. The series emphasizes durability and precise alignment in demanding applications. It complements other headers and wire housings within the Harwin portfolio. The design focuses on minimizing insertion force while maintaining secure connection integrity.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 3-row, 36-position configuration and vertical orientation. Verify that alternative parts include compatible jackscrew mechanisms for equivalent retention. Ensure the replacement maintains the same pin pitch and contact gender. Cross-reference datasheets for identical mounting dimensions and thermal ratings.
