Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The M80-8981705 qualifies as a direct substitute for the M80-6901798 based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Both are 17-position receptacle connectors with female socket contacts
• Pitch Specification: Both maintain 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Row Configuration: Both feature single-row layouts
• Mounting Style: Both are free hanging (in-line) connectors
• Termination Method: Both utilize crimp termination for wire attachment
• Insulation Material: Both employ polyamide-based housing materials
• Operating Temperature Range: Both support -55°C to 125°C operation
• Color: Both are black
• Compliance Standards: Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating

The primary distinction is product status: M80-6901798 is obsolete, while M80-8981705 is active. The M80-8981705 belongs to the Datamate L-Tek series and includes specified wire gauge compatibility (24-28 AWG) with gold contact finish.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M80-8981705 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete M80-6901798. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 17-position configuration, 2.00mm pitch, single-row layout, crimp termination, and operating temperature range.

The M80-8981705 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), meeting regulatory and environmental requirements.

The M80-8981705 specifies gold contact finish and 24-28 AWG wire gauge compatibility, providing additional clarity for termination and assembly processes. The fastening mechanism differs between the two series (Latch Lock versus Locking Ramp), but both provide secure connector retention.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can M80-8981705 directly replace M80-6901798 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (2.00mm), position count (17), row configuration (1), mounting style (free hanging in-line), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The crimp termination method is consistent across both parts.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: M80-6901798 is classified as obsolete. M80-8981705 is an active product from Harwin Inc., ensuring ongoing procurement availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish between these connectors?

A: M80-8981705 specifies gold contact finish (11.8µin / 0.30µm thickness). The M80-6901798 contact finish specification is not provided in the technical data.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with M80-8981705?

A: M80-8981705 is rated for 24-28 AWG discrete wire termination using crimp attachment.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both M80-6901798 and M80-8981705 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity level rating.

Q: Are there differences in fastening mechanisms?

A: M80-6901798 uses Latch Lock fastening, while M80-8981705 uses Locking Ramp fastening. Both provide secure connector retention for their respective series designs.
