Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the M80-8901401 classified as obsolete? A: The M80-8901401 has been discontinued by Harwin Inc. and is no longer manufactured. Obsolete status indicates end-of-life for this product line.

Q: Is the M80-8501442 a direct replacement for the M80-8901401? A: The M80-8501442 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. However, design verification is required to confirm mechanical and electrical compatibility with your specific application, as detailed specifications for the M80-8901401 are not fully documented.

Q: What are the key differences between these connectors? A: The M80-8501442 provides documented specifications including 14-position capacity, 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, gold-plated mating contacts, 800V voltage rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. The M80-8901401 specifications are not fully defined in available documentation.

Q: Are there packaging differences? A: The M80-8501442 is supplied in tube packaging. The M80-8901401 packaging specification is not documented.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level, and why does it matter? A: The M80-8501442 carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), meaning it has no moisture sensitivity constraints. This simplifies storage, handling, and shelf-life management compared to higher MSL ratings.

Q: Can I use existing inventory of M80-8901401 components? A: Existing M80-8901401 inventory (957 pieces) may be used in current production if design specifications permit. However, transition to M80-8501442 is recommended for new designs and long-term supply continuity.
