Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The M80-8411242 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Identical pitch spacing: 0.079" (2.00mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Identical position count and row configuration: 12 positions across 2 rows
• Identical connector type classification: Male pin contacts within Datamate L-Tek series
• Identical mounting configuration: Through-hole, right-angle orientation
• Identical electrical ratings: 2.2A current rating and 120V voltage rating
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Identical contact material and finish specifications: Phosphor bronze with gold mating finish and tin-lead post finish
• Identical shrouding design: Shrouded 4-wall configuration
• Identical termination method: Solder termination with strain relief clips

The M80-8411242 represents an active product variant within the same series, providing continued availability and support for applications requiring this connector specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M80-8411242 is the designated substitute for the obsolete M80-8141222. Selection of the M80-8411242 is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The M80-8411242 maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (1067 pieces), whereas the M80-8141222 is obsolete with no ongoing manufacturing support.

Regulatory Compliance: The M80-8411242 achieves ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental and material restriction requirements. The M80-8141222 is RoHS non-compliant, limiting its use in applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both connectors share identical pitch, position count, row configuration, and mounting orientation, ensuring direct mechanical interchangeability in existing PCB layouts and mating connector designs.

Electrical Performance: Identical current and voltage ratings (2.2A, 120V) and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) confirm electrical equivalence for the intended application.

Material Specification Differences: The M80-8411242 uses polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) insulation material compared to polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) in the M80-8141222. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The M80-8411242 also features tin post finish versus tin-lead in the original part, aligning with lead-free manufacturing standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the M80-8411242 directly replace the M80-8141222 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The M80-8411242 maintains identical pitch spacing (2.00mm), position count (12 positions, 2 rows), mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle), and electrical ratings (2.2A, 120V). PCB layouts and mating connector specifications require no modification.

Q: What is the difference between "Plug" and "Header" connector types listed for these parts?

A: Both parts are male pin connectors within the Datamate L-Tek series designed for board-to-board or cable applications. The terminology distinction reflects internal Harwin classification but does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Q: Does the change from tin-lead to tin post finish affect compatibility?

A: No. The post finish change from tin-lead to tin represents a material specification update aligned with lead-free manufacturing standards. This change does not affect mechanical fit, electrical performance, or mating characteristics.

Q: Why does the insulation material differ between the two parts?

A: The M80-8411242 uses polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) instead of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Both materials are glass-filled and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. PPS offers enhanced thermal and chemical resistance properties while maintaining full compatibility with the original design.

Q: What is the significance of the fastening type change from "Friction Lock" to "Latch Holder"?

A: Both fastening types provide secure mating retention within the Datamate L-Tek series. The latch holder design in the M80-8411242 represents an updated retention mechanism that maintains equivalent holding force and reliability.

Q: Is the M80-8411242 available in the same packaging as the M80-8141222?

A: The M80-8411242 is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector performance or compatibility; it reflects standard distribution methods for active products.

Q: What is the inventory status for the M80-8411242?

A: The M80-8411242 has 1067 pieces in stock as new original inventory, ensuring availability for immediate procurement and production requirements.
