SCBDF3-H
Product Features
- High-Density Mounting: 23mm center spacing enables multiple sockets to be installed side by side, ideal for multi-channel audio gear, mixing consoles, and stage boxes where panel space is limited.
- Clean Rear-Panel Installation: Mounts from behind the panel with no exposed screws or hardware on the front, delivering a professional appearance while supporting panel thickness up to 3.0mm.
- Secure Metal Latch Lock: Push-button metal latch mechanism ensures a firm, reliable mating connection with easy one-touch release.
- Gold-Plated Contacts for Stable Signal: Au-plated copper alloy contacts provide low contact resistance (≤ 6 mΩ), ensuring consistent conductivity and signal quality over time.
- Long Service Life, Low Insertion Force: Rated for over 1,000 mating cycles with insertion/withdrawal force ≤ 20 N, built to withstand frequent connect/disconnect use with minimal wear.

Description
The SCBDF3-H is a compact 3-pin XLR female socket designed for horizontal PCB mounting, engineered by SEETRONIC for professional audio and electronics applications requiring reliable, space-efficient connectivity. Featuring a durable polyamide (nylon) housing paired with a metal latch lock mechanism and gold-plated copper alloy contacts, this socket is installed from behind the panel, making it ideal for equipment enclosures where a clean front-panel appearance and high packing density are essential. Its low profile and small footprint allow multiple units to be mounted closely together, making it well suited for multi-channel audio interfaces, mixing consoles, stage boxes, and other high-density connector panel applications.
Key Features
- Compact, High-Density Design: Small form factor enables tight side-by-side mounting (23mm center spacing), maximizing connector density on crowded panels.
- Rear-Panel Installation: Installs from behind the panel for a clean, secure front-facing appearance with panel thickness support up to 3.0mm.
- Metal Latch Lock: Secure push-button metal latch mechanism ensures a reliable, positive mating connection and easy release.
- Gold-Plated Contacts: Au-plated copper alloy contacts deliver low contact resistance (≤ 6 mΩ) and excellent long-term conductivity.
- Horizontal PCB Mount: Optimized pin layout for horizontal circuit board integration, simplifying PCB layout in compact enclosures.
- Long Service Life: Rated for over 1,000 mating cycles with low insertion/withdrawal force (≤ 20 N), supporting frequent connect/disconnect use.
Material and Environmental Specifications
- Housing Material: Polyamide (nylon) construction offers durability and dimensional stability.
- Flame Retardancy: Rated UL 94-V0, meeting demanding fire-safety standards for electronic equipment.
- Operating Temperature Range: Functions reliably across -30°C to +80°C, suitable for varied environmental conditions.
- Protection Class: IP40-rated for protection against solid foreign objects and basic contact protection.
- Dielectric Strength & Insulation: Withstands 1500V DC dielectric strength with insulation resistance greater than 10 GΩ (initial), ensuring electrical safety.
- Solderability: Complies with IEC 68-2-20 standard for reliable solder joint performance.
Electrical Performance
- Rated Current: Supports up to 6A per contact, suitable for standard audio signal and low-power applications.
- Rated Voltage: Operates safely under 50V.
- Low Capacitance: Contact-to-contact capacitance of ≤ 4 pF minimizes signal interference for clean audio transmission.
Packaging and Accessories
- Packaging Method: Supplied in blister box packaging — 25 pcs per blister box, 150 pcs per inner carton, and 5 inner cartons per master carton (750 pcs per master carton).
- Accessories: Ships without accessories by default; optional back fastener plates or screws and nuts available upon request.
Assembly Instructions
- Rear-Panel Mounting: Install the socket on the rear of the panel (maximum panel thickness 3.0mm) for a flush, professional front-facing finish.
