HARWIN Datamate L-Tek Series PCB Header, Right Angle Surface Mount, 8 Contacts, 2 mm Pitch, 2 Row, Shrouded, 3A M80-8280842

The HARWIN M80-8280842 Datamate L-Tek Series right angle surface PCB header is a high-reliability connector designed to meet rigorous electrical and mechanical demands. Featuring eight contacts in two rows with a compact 2 mm pitch, this shrouded header ensures secure, precise mating and alignment in both board-to-board and wire-to-board applications.

Built for surface mounting with a right angle orientation, the connector's configuration optimizes space usage and accommodates diverse PCB layouts. Its robust polyphenylene sulphide housing provides outstanding thermal stability and resistance to chemicals, supporting durability in challenging environments. Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts offer superior electrical performance, resist corrosion, and facilitate high mating cycle longevity.

With a current rating of 3A and voltage capability up to 120V, the header supports both signal and low-power transmission, making it suitable for industrial, laboratory, and commercial applications. The operating temperature range from -55°C to 125°C guarantees reliability in extreme conditions, while solder termination delivers strong mechanical retention.

This Datamate L-Tek header incorporates shrouded construction for enhanced protection and accurate connection, helping to prevent misalignment or inadvertent disconnection. Board-to-board and wire-to-board versatility makes it well-suited for embedded systems, instrumentation, and control panels where robust connectors are essential. The L-Tek range complies with industry standards including BS9525-F0033, MIL C 55302, and CEC 75101-008, enabling integration with industry equivalents.

A header such as the M80-8280842 is ideal for environments subject to vibration, shock, and acceleration, or where operational integrity is critical. Its high reliability is achieved through the use of four-finger beryllium copper contacts, supporting repeated mating cycles without degradation of electrical performance.

HARWIN’s Datamate L-Tek Series is widely used in aerospace, defense, industrial automation, and laboratory electronics where performance and longevity are paramount. Explore the full range of HARWIN connectors and PCB Headers to find compatible solutions for specialized connectivity requirements.
