Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The M80-8820542 qualifies as a direct substitute for the M80-8820522 based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical pitch specification (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Matching position count (5 positions, single row)
• Same connector type and contact configuration (Male Pin Header)
• Identical mounting method (Through Hole, Solder Termination)
• Matching shrouding design (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Equivalent electrical ratings (2.2A current, 800V voltage)
• Identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Same insulation material and flammability rating (PPS Glass Filled, UL94 V-0)

The primary distinction is product status: M80-8820542 is active and currently in production, whereas M80-8820522 is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The M80-8820542 is the direct functional equivalent of the M80-8820522 for all electrical and mechanical applications. Selection of M80-8820542 is supported by the following factors:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• ROHS3 compliance of M80-8820542 aligns with current regulatory requirements, whereas M80-8820522 is RoHS non-compliant
• Identical electrical performance across all rated parameters (current, voltage, temperature range)
• Mechanical compatibility confirmed through matching pitch, position count, mounting type, and physical dimensions
• Both components share identical contact materials, finishes, and insulation specifications

The only material difference is the post contact finish: M80-8820542 uses Tin finish while M80-8820522 uses Tin-Lead finish. This change reflects modern manufacturing standards and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can M80-8820542 be used as a direct replacement for M80-8820522 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The M80-8820542 is mechanically and electrically compatible with M80-8820522. Both components share identical pitch (2.00mm), position count (5), mounting type (Through Hole), and electrical ratings (2.2A, 800V). Physical dimensions and contact configurations are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the Tin-Lead finish on M80-8820522 and the Tin finish on M80-8820542?

A: The post contact finish differs between the two parts. M80-8820522 uses Tin-Lead, while M80-8820542 uses Tin. Both finishes provide equivalent solderability and electrical performance. The change reflects current manufacturing practices and regulatory compliance.

Q: Why is M80-8820522 listed as obsolete?

A: M80-8820522 has been discontinued by Harwin Inc. and replaced by M80-8820542 in the active product line. M80-8820542 offers the same functionality with improved regulatory compliance (ROHS3).

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. M80-8820542 is ROHS3 compliant, while M80-8820522 is RoHS non-compliant. Both are REACH Unaffected and classified as EAR99. For new designs or applications with RoHS requirements, M80-8820542 is the appropriate selection.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: M80-8820542 is supplied in Tube packaging. Packaging format does not affect component functionality or compatibility.

Q: Are the mated stacking heights identical?

A: Yes. Both M80-8820522 and M80-8820542 support identical mated stacking heights of 7.23mm, 10.2mm, and 13.46mm.
