Professional audio engineers, electronics technicians, and manufacturers building custom audio equipment need reliable XLR connectors for PCB integration. The SAPT255 5-pack delivers vertical-mount 3-pole XLR male connectors specifically engineered for printed circuit board applications.

These connectors provide secure, professional-grade XLR connections directly integrated into your PCB design. The vertical mounting configuration optimizes board space while maintaining full electrical integrity for balanced audio signals.

Each connector features 3-pole wiring that handles standard balanced audio applications, with durable construction built to withstand repeated connection cycles. The connectors fit standard Series D hole patterns, ensuring compatibility with existing PCB layouts and industry-standard mounting requirements. The vertical PCB mount design allows for efficient board layout and reliable solder connections.

Perfect for powered speaker manufacturers replacing damaged input/output connectors, audio equipment builders creating custom mixing consoles, and electronics repair shops servicing professional audio gear. These connectors work equally well for front-panel or rear-panel mounting depending on your design requirements.

Installation requires standard PCB soldering techniques and equipment. The 5-pack quantity provides sufficient connectors for multiple projects or keeps spares on hand for future repairs. Each connector is designed exclusively for PCB mounting applications—not suitable for cable-end termination.

Seismic Audio backs these connectors with a one-year warranty and fast shipping. Professional-grade components at a price that works for both production runs and individual repairs.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What PCB applications are these XLR connectors designed for?

These connectors are specifically engineered for integration into printed circuit boards in powered speakers, mixing consoles, audio interfaces, and other professional audio equipment. They're ideal for manufacturers building custom gear or technicians replacing damaged input/output connectors on existing PCB-based audio equipment.

Can I use these connectors for standard cable assembly or repairs?

No, these are exclusively PCB-mount connectors designed for soldering directly to printed circuit boards. They cannot be used for standard XLR cable assembly or field repairs. For cable-end applications, you'll need standard XLR cable connectors instead.

What's the difference between vertical and horizontal PCB mount connectors?

Vertical mount connectors like these extend perpendicular to the PCB surface, making them ideal for panel-mount applications where the XLR port needs to be accessible from the front or back of the equipment. This orientation saves PCB real estate compared to horizontal mounts that lay flat against the board.

Do these fit standard equipment rack panels and enclosures?

Yes, these connectors use the standard Series D hole pattern that's industry-standard for professional audio equipment. They'll fit the same mounting holes as most commercial XLR connectors, making them perfect for repair applications or custom builds using standard enclosures.

What soldering equipment do I need to install these connectors?

You'll need a temperature-controlled soldering iron (25-40 watts recommended), 60/40 or 63/37 rosin-core solder, and basic desoldering tools for removal of old connectors. Standard PCB assembly techniques apply—ensure proper heat management to avoid damaging the PCB traces during installation.
