SCADM3-V
Product Features
- Space-Saving Design: With only 23mm between centers, the SCADM3-V allows for significantly higher connector packing density than standard XLR sockets, ideal for panels with limited real estate.
- Secure, Tamper-Resistant Mounting: Rear panel installation combined with a steel latch lock mechanism provides a clean front appearance while preventing unauthorized disconnection or tampering.
- Wide Environmental Tolerance: Operating range of -30°C to +80°C with UL 94 V0 flame-retardant rated housing makes it suitable for both indoor and demanding outdoor or industrial applications.
- Simple, Fast Installation: Rear-panel mounting with standard ST2.9 self-tapping screws and clear torque specifications (0.45 Nm) enables quick, consistent assembly on production lines.

Description
The SCADM3-V is a 3-pin XLR male socket designed for compact, high-density panel installations. It features a metal mounting flange with vertical PCB mount configuration and installs from the rear of the panel for a clean front-facing appearance. The connector uses a separate grounding contact connected to both the mating connector shell and the front panel, ensuring reliable shielding and signal integrity. With gold-plated contacts, a steel latch lock mechanism, and a small footprint (23mm center-to-center spacing), the SCADM3-V is well-suited for professional audio equipment, broadcast systems, and other applications requiring dense connector arrays without sacrificing durability or performance.
Key Features
- 3-Pin XLR Male Socket: Standard XLR configuration with dedicated grounding to both connector shell and front panel for reliable shielding.
- Vertical PCB Mount: Designed for vertical PCB installation, simplifying integration into circuit board layouts.
- Metal Mounting Flange: Durable metal flange construction provides mechanical strength and secure panel attachment.
- Gold-Plated Contacts: Gold plating on contact points improves conductivity and resists corrosion over time.
- Rear Panel Installation: Installs from the back of the panel for a clean, tamper-resistant front appearance.
Electrical & Mechanical Specifications
- Contact Resistance: ≤ 6 mΩ, ensuring minimal signal loss across connections.
- Capacitance Between Contacts: ≤ 4 pF, suitable for maintaining signal fidelity.
- Insulation Resistance: > 10 GΩ (initial), supporting strong electrical isolation.
- Insertion/Withdrawal Force: ≤ 20N for both insertion and withdrawal, balancing ease of use with secure connection.
- Service Life: Rated for over 1,000 mating cycles, supporting long-term reliable use.
Material and Environmental Specifications
- Contact Plating: Gold (Au) plating for enhanced corrosion resistance and consistent electrical performance.
- Housing Material: Constructed from PA (nylon), offering good mechanical strength and chemical resistance.
- Flame-Retardant Rating: UL 94 V0 certified, meeting strict flame-retardant safety standards.
- Operating Temperature Range: -30°C to +80°C, suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions.
Packaging and Accessories
- No Accessories Included: The SCADM3-V ships without additional mounting accessories (screws, nuts, or fastener plates), so installers should prepare compatible hardware separately.
- Blister Box Packaging: Packed 20pcs per blister box for individual protection and easy handling.
- Inner Carton Packing: 120pcs per inner carton, allowing for organized bulk handling.
- Master Carton Packing: 5 inner cartons per master carton, totaling 600pcs per master carton for efficient shipping and storage.
Assembly Instructions
- Rear Panel Mounting: Install the socket from the back of the panel through the designated panel cut-out.
- Recommended Screws: Use ST2.9 self-tapping screws with a length of 8mm for mounting.
- Tightening Torque: Secure screws by tightening clockwise with 0.45 Nm of torque to ensure a stable, secure fit.
- Cut-Out Dimensions: Reference the panel cut-out diagram (Ø22.00mm circular cut-out with mounting holes at 19.80mm spacing) to ensure proper fit.
