Insertion Socket ShiverPeaks 55231 PA-type for panel/mount connection

The Insertion Socket ShiverPeaks 55231 PA-type for panel/mount connection is a compact, round PA-style panel socket intended for secure and standardized electrical or electronic panel interfaces. It is designed to be fitted into instrument panels, enclosures or mounting plates where a reliable, replaceable connector is required. The component supports straightforward mechanical installation and provides a defined mating interface for compatible plugs.

Advantages

This PA-type insertion socket offers a compact footprint and a round form factor that save panel space while maintaining mechanical stability. Its design simplifies replacement and maintenance of panel connectors and ensures consistent contact alignment for compatible mating plugs. The socket is suitable for environments where a standard panel connection is needed, providing repeatable mating and straightforward integration into existing assemblies.

Suitable for

• Industrial control panels and machinery interfaces
• Audio equipment and stage electronics requiring panel-mounted connections
• Replacement or upgrade of existing PA-style panel sockets
• Electronic enclosures and instrument front panels

Key specifications

• Mounting type: panel/mount insertion
• Shape: round PA-style socket suitable for standard panel cutouts
• Form factor: compact footprint designed for space-constrained panels
• Contact interface: standardized mating interface for compatible plugs
• Mechanical features: designed for secure seating and repeatable mating cycles

How to use

Install the insertion socket into the prepared panel cutout according to the panel thickness and cutout dimensions of the PA-style form factor. Secure the socket mechanically using the recommended fastening method for the device—this may include nuts, clips or panel retainers depending on the panel design. Connect wiring or harnesses to the rear contacts following safe electrical practice and ensuring correct polarity and insulation. When mating a compatible plug, align the plug with the socket and insert until the connector seats fully to ensure reliable electrical contact.

Recommendations

Verify panel cutout dimensions and panel thickness prior to installation. Use appropriate strain relief for rear cabling and follow device-specific wiring diagrams. Periodically inspect mating surfaces and contacts for wear or contamination and clean or replace the socket when consistent contact performance degrades.
