Key Features
- 5-pin DIN socket with PCB through-hole mounting for stable, vibration-resistant board integration
- DIN 45322 compliant footprint ensuring interoperability with standard 5-pin DIN plugs
- Robust contact retention mechanism supporting repeated plug-and-unplug cycles over device lifetime
- Compact circular DIN profile accommodating MIDI, legacy audio, and industrial control signal interfaces
Applications
The Hirschmann MAB 5 SH is widely used in MIDI musical instrument interfaces, industrial machine control panels, and legacy audio equipment requiring reliable 5-pin DIN connectivity. Its PCB through-hole design provides strong mechanical anchoring for connectors that experience repeated cable insertion and removal in live performance environments. The connector is also found in laboratory instruments and vintage computing peripherals where 5-pin DIN remains the standard for keyboard, mouse, and serial communication ports carrying signals up to 5 V.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pins does the MAB 5 SH provide and what standard does it conform to for plug compatibility?
The MAB 5 SH is a 5-pin DIN socket conforming to the DIN 45322 standard, ensuring mechanical compatibility with any standard 5-pin DIN plug in a 13.2 mm circular housing. This standard is the basis for MIDI connectors carrying 31.25 kbaud serial data, as well as legacy keyboard and mouse interfaces on 5 V systems, making the socket interchangeable across musical instruments and industrial automation controllers.
What PCB mounting style does the MAB 5 SH use and how does it affect mechanical strength on high-vibration equipment?
The MAB 5 SH uses through-hole PCB mounting with solder pins that penetrate the board and are wave- or hand-soldered, providing mechanical retention strength typically above 50 N axial pull force. This is significantly stronger than surface-mount DIN sockets rated around 20 N, making through-hole mounting the preferred choice for industrial panels and musical keyboards where cables are frequently inserted and removed, with operational temperature ranges from -25°C to +70°C.
Which signal types and voltage levels can the MAB 5 SH reliably carry across its 5 contacts?
The MAB 5 SH 5-pin DIN socket supports low-level analog audio signals, 5 V serial digital data (MIDI at 31.25 kbaud), and 12 V control voltages typical in industrial machine interfaces. Contact rating is typically 1 A per pin at up to 30 V AC/DC, sufficient for power-plus-signal configurations used in older keyboard instruments and synthesizers, while the DIN shroud provides 360° shielding against EMI on sensitive analog audio lines.
