Rectangular connectors are an extremely versatile type of electrical connector. They are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, with male, female, and through-hole configurations. The M80 series connectors are a family of 2mm pitch rectangular connectors, consisting of headers, male pins, and female sockets. The M80-5021842 is a two-row male header, offering a 10-pin arrangement and a 5.08mm maximum mating length.

Application Field

The M80-5021842 is most commonly used as a board-to-board connection solution. Thanks to its small size, the connector is suitable for use in applications where space is a premium. This can include the inner components of PC peripherals, such as gaming controllers, routers, and keyboards, or any type of consumer electronics device.

Working Principle

The M80-5021842 consists of two rows of ten male pins. The pins are arranged in a 2x5 configuration and have a 2mm pitch between each pin. This enables the connector to mate with any industry standard 2mm pitch female socket. The connector is made up of an insulation body and contact pins, both of which are made of high quality copper alloy.

When mating the connector, the female socket is placed over the header. The header pins protrude through the holes in the socket to make electrical contact. As the socket is pushed down on top of the header, the header pins are pressed into the socket openings, making a secure electrical connection. Furthermore, provided the socket and the header are properly positioned, the header two rows of pins will be perfectly aligned with the Female socket two rows of holes.

Conclusion

The M80-5021842 is a two-row male header with a 2x5 pin configuration and a 5.08mm maximum mating length. It is commonly used as a board-to-board connection solution, particularly in PC peripherals, consumer electronics and other space-restricted applications. The connector works by having the male pins on the header pressed into the female socket openings, creating an electrical connection. As such, the M80 connectors are a dependable, reliable and cost-effective option for a wide variety of electrical applications.
