Description
The SCADF5-V is a compact 5-pin XLR female socket engineered for vertical PCB mounting, designed by Seetronic for applications requiring high packing density and reliable panel-mount installation. Featuring a durable metal mounting flange and steel latch lock mechanism, this connector provides secure mating with a service life exceeding 1,000 mating cycles. Its space-saving footprint (23mm center-to-center spacing) makes it ideal for multi-channel audio and signal equipment where board real estate is at a premium. Installed from the rear of the panel, the SCADF5-V offers a clean, professional front-facing appearance suited to broadcast, pro-audio, and industrial equipment manufacturers.
Key Features
- Compact, High-Density Design: Only 23mm between centers, enabling multiple connectors to be closely arranged on a single panel.
- Secure Latch Locking: Steel latch lock mechanism with push-button release ensures a firm, reliable connection during use.
- Independent Grounding Path: Separate ground contact connects to both the mating connector shell and the front panel for improved EMI protection.
- Gold-Plated Contacts: Copper alloy contacts with gold plating minimize contact resistance (≤6mΩ) and resist corrosion.
- Rear Panel Installation: Mounts from behind the panel for a clean front appearance and streamlined assembly.
- Proven Durability: Rated for over 1,000 mating cycles, with insertion/withdrawal force ≤20N for smooth, consistent operation.
Material and Environmental Specifications
- Contact Material: Copper alloy (Cu alloy) base with gold (Au) plating for durability and conductivity.
- Housing Material: PA (nylon) construction, offering good mechanical strength and dimensional stability.
- Flame Retardancy: UL 94 V0 rated housing for enhanced fire safety compliance.
- Rated Electrical Performance: 3A rated current per contact, <50V rated voltage, suitable for line-level audio and control signal applications.
- Solderability Standard: Compliant with IEC 68-2-20 for consistent solder joint quality.
Packaging and Accessories
- Standard Packaging: Supplied in blister box packing, 20pcs per blister box, 120pcs per inner carton, and 5 inner cartons per master carton (600pcs total per master carton).
- No Accessories Included: The SCADF5-V ships without additional accessories such as back fastener plates or extra screws/nuts, keeping the base unit streamlined and cost-effective.
Assembly Instructions
- Panel Cut-Out Preparation: Prepare the panel cut-out per the drawing specifications (Ø22.00mm mounting hole with two 3.20mm screw holes), ensuring a maximum panel thickness of 3.0mm.
- Rear Mounting Installation: Install the socket from the back of the panel, aligning it with the cut-out before securing.
- Screw Torque Specification: Use ST2.9 self-tapping screws (8mm length) and tighten clockwise to a torque of 0.45 Nm for a secure, vibration-resistant fit.
- PCB Alignment: Reference the PCB cut-out dimensions provided in the drawing to ensure proper pin alignment during vertical PCB mounting.
