What is Panel Mount?

Definition of panel mount 

Panel mount is a mechanical feature or features built into the design of a connector half. It allows the connector to be secured to an equipment panel, external case or enclosure. Often (but not always), connectors fitted with panel mount features will be cable connectors.

 
What are the advantages of panel mount?
  • By having the connector attached to the panel, there is no external strain on the electrical connections on the back of the connector. This will lower the risk of failure and improve the life of your device
  • You can safely allow untrained users to connect and disconnect cables – think of the connections in the back of your PC, these are all panel mount
  • It’s also possible to design whole modules as replaceable items in smaller enclosures, and keep the devices inside each box safe from tampering.
