M83-LMT2MHN18-0000-000

Overview

The M83-LMT2MHN18-0000-000 is a board connector from the Harwin Datamate J-Tek series. It features 18 contacts arranged in two rows with male pin terminals. The component utilizes a 2 mm pitch and includes a jackscrew nut for secure vertical board mounting. It is designed for straight solder termination and complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a jackscrew nut mechanism to ensure reliable mating retention under vibration
• Employs a shrouded header design to prevent misalignment during insertion
• Utilizes gold-plated contacts to maintain signal integrity and corrosion resistance

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Medical diagnostic equipment
• Aerospace avionics interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact count and gender configuration against the official datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the jackscrew nut style matches the mating receptacle requirements. Ensure compliance with environmental regulations such as RoHS is documented for the specific manufacturing batch.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-reliability board-to-board connections are required in space-constrained environments. The jackscrew feature provides superior mechanical security compared to standard latches. Verify that the straight solder tail orientation aligns with the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Datamate J-Tek family, known for rugged interconnect solutions. The series supports mixed contact configurations and various housing sizes. It is engineered for harsh environments requiring high durability and consistent performance across temperature extremes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series require matching the contact count, row configuration, and jackscrew type. Verify that alternative part numbers maintain identical terminal pitch and mounting specifications to ensure compatibility.
