Product Information

Full details

This Electrovision 21 Way Right Angled Scart Chassis Socket is designed for custom AV installations or repairs where a space-saving, right-angled connection is needed. It offers a reliable standard-quality connection with solder terminals, suitable for chassis or PCB mounting. A key benefit is its compact, right-angled design which aids in tight spaces, though its standard quality means it may not be suitable for high-fidelity or critical applications.

FAQs

What does 'Right Angled' mean for this Scart socket?

It means the pins are bent at a 90-degree angle relative to the mounting plane, allowing cables to exit sideways rather than straight out.

Can this socket be used for both audio and video?

Yes, as it is a 21-way Scart socket, it supports the full range of audio and video signals defined by the Scart standard.

What is the difference between chassis mount and PCB mount?

Chassis mount means it can be fixed to the exterior of a case or panel, usually with screws or clips. PCB mount means it is designed to be soldered directly onto a printed circuit board.

Do I need special tools to install this?

You will need a soldering iron, solder, and potentially tools for cutting a chassis mounting hole (like a drill or file).

Is this socket suitable for high-definition video?

This is a standard quality Scart socket. While it will pass signals, for optimal high-definition performance with analog signals, ensure your entire signal chain is of appropriate quality. Digital signals are typically handled by HDMI.

What are the physical dimensions of the socket?

The product dimensions are approximately 1.70cm (Depth) x 6.50cm (Width) x 2.50cm (Height).

Troubleshooting

No audio or video signal

Verify all 21 pins are correctly soldered and making good contact. Check the integrity of the connected SCART cable and the source/display devices.

Intermittent signal loss

Inspect solder joints for cold joints or breaks. Ensure the socket is securely mounted and not under mechanical stress.

Socket physically loose

Re-secure the mounting mechanism (screws for chassis mount, or ensure proper PCB soldering). For chassis mount, ensure the cut-out size is appropriate for a snug fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Space-saving right-angled orientation is ideal for tight installations.
  • Offers flexible mounting via chassis or PCB.
  • Solder terminals ensure a robust and lasting connection.
  • Full 21-pin Scart support for complete signal transfer.
  • Compact size makes it easy to integrate into various projects.

Cons

  • Standard quality may not meet the demands of professional high-fidelity setups.
  • Requires soldering skills for installation.
  • Plastic body may be less durable than metal alternatives in high-wear environments.
  • Right-angled design might limit cable routing options in some specific scenarios.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify Mounting Location: Determine if the socket will be mounted on a chassis (requiring a cut-out) or a PCB.
  2. Prepare Mounting Area: If chassis mounting, create an appropriate sized rectangular opening. For PCB mounting, ensure correct footprint design.
  3. Solder Connections: Carefully solder the wires from your AV source or device to the corresponding pins on the socket's solder terminals. Ensure good electrical contact and avoid solder bridges.
  4. Secure Socket: Mount the socket firmly in its designated location.

Compatibility:

  • This socket is compatible with all standard SCART cables and devices that utilize the SCART (21-pin Euroconnector) interface.
  • It is suitable for both audio and video signal transmission.

Care:

  • Keep the socket clean and free from dust and debris. A dry or slightly damp cloth can be used for cleaning.
  • Avoid exposing the socket to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
  • Ensure connections remain secure to prevent signal degradation.
