Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The M80-8520542 qualifies as a direct substitute for the M80-7480522 based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Harwin Inc. (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Series: Datamate L-Tek (same connector family)
• Connector Type: Header with male pin contacts
• Number of Positions: 5
• Number of Rows: 1
• Pitch - Mating: 0.079" (2.00mm) (identical mating pitch ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility)
• Current Rating: 2.2A (identical current capacity)
• Voltage Rating: 800V (identical voltage rating)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (identical thermal operating envelope)

Functional Differences: The M80-8520542 represents an active product with enhanced specifications including through-hole mounting, shrouded design, and improved compliance status. These differences do not prevent substitution but reflect product evolution within the same connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M80-8520542 is the designated substitute for the obsolete M80-7480522. Selection of the M80-8520542 is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The M80-7480522 is classified as obsolete, making the active M80-8520542 the appropriate choice for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Compliance Status: The M80-8520542 achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the M80-7480522 is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance improvement aligns with current regulatory requirements for electronic components in most markets.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (2.2A current, 800V voltage) and thermal operating range (-55°C ~ 125°C), ensuring functional equivalence in circuit applications. The 2mm pitch and 5-position configuration remain unchanged, preserving mating interface compatibility.

Contact Material and Finish: Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts, ensuring consistent contact resistance and reliability. The post finish differs (tin-lead versus tin), reflecting modern manufacturing standards in the substitute part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the M80-8520542 directly replace the M80-7480522 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (2.00mm), position count (5), current rating (2.2A), voltage rating (800V), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The mating interface is mechanically and electrically compatible.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The M80-7480522 is obsolete. The M80-8520542 is an active product from the same manufacturer and series, ensuring continued component availability and support.

Q: Are there differences in mounting between these parts?

A: Yes. The M80-7480522 uses friction lock fastening, while the M80-8520542 employs through-hole mounting with latch holder fastening and shrouded design. PCB layout and mounting hole patterns may require adjustment during design transition.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect substitution?

A: The M80-8520542 is ROHS3 compliant, while the M80-7480522 is non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the M80-8520542 is the required choice. For legacy systems without RoHS requirements, both parts remain functionally equivalent.

Q: Are the contact finishes compatible?

A: Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts. The post finish differs (tin-lead in the original, tin in the substitute), reflecting current manufacturing practices. This difference does not affect mating performance.
