Description
The SCADM3-H is a compact 3-pin XLR male panel-mount socket engineered for space-constrained audio and electronic equipment. Designed for horizontal PCB mounting and installed from the rear of the panel, this connector features a metal mounting flange with a steel latch lock for secure, reliable mating. Its independent grounding path—separated from the mating connector shell and front panel—ensures clean, stable signal transmission even in dense installation environments. With a compact 23 mm center-to-center spacing, the SCADM3-H is ideal for high-density connector layouts on mixers, amplifiers, stage boxes, and other professional audio equipment where board space is at a premium.
