Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the M80-4592698 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 26 positions at 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch
• Physical Layout: 2-row configuration with 0.079" (2.00mm) row spacing
• Mounting & Fastening: Free hanging (in-line) with screw lock fastening
• Termination Method: Crimp contact termination
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The substitute part M80-4C12605FC from the Datamate J-Tek series satisfies all these parameters while offering active product status and enhanced contact specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M80-4C12605FC is the direct substitute for the obsolete M80-4592698. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 26-position configuration, 2.00mm pitch, 2-row layout, screw lock fastening, and crimp termination. Both achieve ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility.

The M80-4C12605FC offers the advantage of active product status with current manufacturing support and inventory availability (765 pcs in stock versus 1084 pcs for the obsolete part). The addition of a polarizing key feature and specified gold contact finish (11.8µin/0.30µm) on the substitute part provides enhanced mating reliability and corrosion resistance without altering the fundamental connector interface.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can M80-4C12605FC directly replace M80-4592698 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical position count (26), pitch (2.00mm), row configuration (2 rows at 2.00mm spacing), mounting type (free hanging in-line), fastening method (screw lock), and termination approach (crimp). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the significance of the polarizing key feature on the substitute part?

A: The polarizing key on M80-4C12605FC prevents incorrect mating orientation. This feature does not affect compatibility with existing mating connectors but provides additional assembly safeguards. Existing designs using M80-4592698 without polarization requirements remain compatible.

Q: Are there wire gauge or contact finish differences between these parts?

A: The M80-4C12605FC specifies 24-28 AWG wire gauge support and gold contact finish (11.8µin/0.30µm). The M80-4592698 does not specify these parameters in the provided data. The substitute's defined specifications ensure consistent performance across standard wire gauges used in 2.00mm pitch applications.

Q: Why is M80-4592698 classified as obsolete?

A: The Datamate Trio-Tek series (M80-4592698) has been superseded by the Datamate J-Tek series (M80-4C12605FC). Harwin Inc. has transitioned production to the newer J-Tek platform while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility for end-user applications.

Q: What is the inventory status for the substitute part?

A: M80-4C12605FC is actively manufactured with 765 pcs currently in stock. The original M80-4592698 has 1084 pcs remaining inventory as an obsolete part. New designs and replenishment orders should specify M80-4C12605FC to ensure long-term supply continuity.
