ShiverPeaks 55230 slide-in socket – PA connection module

Insertion Socket ShiverPeaks 55230 is a PA connection module designed for integrating peripheral audio or power devices into fixed installations. Manufactured by ShiverPeaks, this insertion socket provides a standardized interface that allows for in-line insertion and removal of compatible PA connectors. The module is intended for installations where modular connectivity and straightforward replacement of connectors are required, offering a compact architectural form factor suitable for panel or chassis mounting.

Advantages

The insertion socket delivers a reliable mechanical and electrical interface for PA connectors, simplifying maintenance and replacement of connected devices. Its standardized geometry ensures consistent mating with compatible plugs, while the design supports secure contact retention and minimal signal interruption during insertion and removal. The module's construction is aimed at durable use in professional audio and power distribution setups.

Suitable for

• Fixed installations in audio systems where removable PA connectors are needed
• Panel or chassis mounting in public address and paging systems
• Environments requiring quick replacement or reconfiguration of peripheral devices
• Integration in power distribution setups that use PA-style connectors

Key specifications

• Type: PA insertion socket intended for panel or chassis installation
• Form factor: rectangular housing suitable for standardized cutouts
• Connectivity: designed for compatible PA connectors with secure mating
• Applications: audio signal and low-voltage power connections in PA systems
• Mounting: fixed mount for modular insertion and removal of connectors

How to use

Install the insertion socket into the panel or chassis cutout prepared to the module's rectangular form factor and secure it according to the mounting provisions. Connect the internal wiring to the socket's rear termination points following the system wiring diagram and local electrical standards. Insert the compatible PA plug into the front face until it seats firmly; verify electrical continuity and mechanical retention. To remove, pull the PA plug straight out while supporting the housing to avoid stress on internal wiring.

Recommendations

Use appropriate strain relief for cables attached to the socket to reduce mechanical stress. Perform connections with power off and verify correct polarity for power applications. Regularly inspect contacts for wear or corrosion in high-use installations and replace the module if contact reliability degrades.
