Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The M80-8520242 qualifies as a direct substitute for the M80-7480242 based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Both are header connectors with male pin contacts within the Datamate L-Tek series
• Electrical Specifications: Identical pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), position count (2), current rating (2.2A), and voltage rating (800V)
• Operating Temperature Range: Both support -55°C ~ 125°C
• Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected
• Manufacturer: Both manufactured by Harwin Inc.

The M80-8520242 represents an active product with enhanced mechanical features including through-hole mounting, shrouding, and solder termination, making it suitable for applications requiring the electrical and dimensional characteristics of the obsolete M80-7480242.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M80-8520242 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete M80-7480242. Both components maintain identical electrical ratings and operating specifications, ensuring functional compatibility in applications requiring 2-position, 2mm pitch rectangular connectors.

The substitute part is currently in active production status with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification, providing supply chain continuity and regulatory compliance assurance. The M80-8520242 incorporates through-hole mounting with solder termination and 4-wall shrouding, which may require PCB layout modifications compared to the original part's mounting configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can M80-8520242 directly replace M80-7480242 in existing designs?

A: Electrical compatibility is confirmed through identical pitch (2.00mm), position count (2), current rating (2.2A), voltage rating (800V), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). However, mounting type differences (through-hole vs. unspecified) and the addition of shrouding on the substitute require PCB layout verification.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The M80-8520242 includes through-hole mounting with solder termination and 4-wall shrouding, whereas the M80-7480242 specifications do not detail these mechanical features. Both maintain identical electrical performance and are manufactured by Harwin Inc. within the Datamate L-Tek series.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes, both M80-7480242 and M80-8520242 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Q: What is the packaging format for the substitute part?

A: The M80-8520242 is supplied in tube packaging, with 1032 pieces available in current inventory.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: The M80-7480242 is listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. The M80-8520242 represents the active product line continuation within the Datamate L-Tek series, offering equivalent electrical specifications with enhanced mechanical features.
