Description
The SCADF3-H is a 3-pin XLR female socket engineered for compact, high-density panel-mount applications. Featuring a horizontal PCB mount configuration and a robust metal mounting flange, this connector is designed for rear-panel installation with a small footprint that supports tight 23mm center-to-center spacing — ideal for multi-channel audio equipment, patch bays, and professional AV installations where space efficiency matters. With gold-plated contacts, a steel latch locking mechanism, and independent grounding to both the mating connector shell and front panel, the SCADF3-H delivers reliable signal integrity and durable mechanical performance for demanding audio and electronic applications.
Key Features
- Compact High-Density Design: Small footprint with only 23mm between centers, enabling dense multi-connector panel layouts.
- Independent Grounding: Separate ground contact connects to both the mating connector shell and the front panel for enhanced shielding and noise control.
- Secure Latch Locking: Steel latch lock mechanism with push-button release ensures a stable, secure mating connection.
- Gold-Plated Contacts: Cu alloy contacts with gold plating provide low contact resistance (≤6 mΩ) and excellent long-term conductivity.
- Rear-Panel Installation: Designed for easy assembly from the rear of the panel, simplifying installation in enclosed equipment.
- Reliable Electrical Performance: Rated for 6A per contact, up to 50V, with dielectric strength of 1500V DC and insulation resistance greater than 10 GΩ.
- Durable Mating Cycle Life: Rated for over 1,000 mating cycles with insertion/withdrawal force ≤20N for consistent long-term use.
