SCADM5-H
Product Features
- Enhanced Noise Immunity: Independent grounding path to both the shell and front panel reduces interference and improves shielding performance.
- Built to Last: Rated for over 1,000 mating cycles with a secure steel latch lock, ensuring long-term durability in demanding professional environments.
- Easy, Reliable Installation: Rear-panel mounting with a simple 0.45 Nm screw torque spec makes assembly fast and repeatable on production lines.
- Wide Environmental Tolerance: Operates reliably from -30°C to +80°C, backed by UL 94 V0 flame-retardant housing for added safety.
- Bulk-Ready Packaging: Efficient blister box packaging (600 pcs/master carton) supports smooth procurement and inventory management for manufacturers.

Description
The SCADM5-H is a 5-pin XLR male socket designed for horizontal PCB mounting applications where space efficiency and reliable signal transmission are essential. Featuring a durable metal mounting flange and a steel latch lock mechanism, this connector provides a secure, vibration-resistant mating interface for professional audio and signal equipment. Its compact footprint (23mm center-to-center spacing) allows for high packing density, making it ideal for multi-channel patch panels, mixing consoles, and rack-mounted equipment where board space is at a premium. All contacts are gold-plated for consistent, low-resistance connections, and the connector installs easily from the rear of the panel for a clean, professional front-panel finish.
Key Features
- 5-Pin Male Configuration: Standard XLR pinout for balanced audio or multi-signal applications.
- Independent Grounding Path: Separate ground contact connects to both the mating connector shell and the front panel for enhanced shielding and noise immunity.
- High-Density Layout: 23mm center spacing enables compact, space-saving panel designs.
- Gold-Plated Contacts: Copper alloy contacts with gold plating ensure low contact resistance (≤6 mΩ) and long-term signal integrity.
- Secure Steel Latch Lock: Robust locking mechanism withstands over 1,000 mating cycles while keeping insertion/withdrawal force at ≤20 N.
- Horizontal PCB Mount: Streamlined rear-installation design simplifies assembly and supports low-profile board layouts.
- Rated Electrical Performance: Supports up to 3A per contact and voltages under 50V, with dielectric strength of 1500V DC and insulation resistance greater than 10 GΩ.
Material and Environmental Specifications
- Contact Material: Copper alloy contacts with gold plating for superior conductivity and corrosion resistance.
- Housing Material: PA (nylon) housing rated UL 94 V0 for flame retardancy.
- Operating Temperature Range: Performs reliably from -30°C to +80°C, suitable for a wide range of environments.
- Solderability: Tested to IEC 68-2-20 standard for consistent solder joint quality.
- Panel Compatibility: Designed for panels up to 3.0mm thick.
Packaging and Accessories
- Blister Box Packaging: Shipped 20 pieces per blister box, 120 pieces per inner carton, and 5 inner cartons per master carton (600 pieces per master carton) for organized bulk handling.
- No Accessories Included: Ships as a standalone socket; mounting hardware such as screws and back fastener plates are available separately if required.
Assembly Instructions
- Rear Panel Installation: Mount the socket from the back of the panel through the designated cut-out for a flush, professional front-facing finish.
- Recommended Fasteners: Use ST2.9 self-tapping screws (8mm length) for secure attachment.
- Torque Specification: Tighten screws clockwise to 0.45 Nm to ensure a stable, long-lasting installation without over-tightening.
- Panel Thickness Limit: Confirm panel thickness does not exceed 3.0mm before installation to ensure proper fit and locking engagement.
