DELOCK panel mount adapter IEC plug to F socket black — model 91197

The DELOCK panel mount adapter IEC plug to F socket black — model 91197 is a compact panel-mounted interface that converts an IEC plug connection to an F-type coaxial socket. Intended for fixed installation into equipment enclosures, racks or control panels, this adapter enables a physical and electrical transition between IEC connector types used for power/signal wiring and F-type sockets commonly used for RF coaxial cabling. Its black finish is suited to equipment front plates and industrial housings where a discrete appearance is required.

Advantages

This adapter provides a straightforward mechanical and electrical transition from an IEC plug connector to an F-type coaxial socket without the need for external cabling or assembly. Its panel-mount form factor ensures a secure, flush installation in a variety of enclosure materials. The black finish reduces visual contrast on dark panels, and the single-piece adapter design minimizes potential connection points that could introduce signal loss or instability.

Suitable for

• Integrating IEC power or signal connections with F-type RF coaxial cabling in equipment panels
• Rack-mounted devices, AV cabinets, set-top boxes or broadcast equipment requiring panel feed-through
• Repair or retrofit jobs where a clean panel interface is needed instead of free-hanging adapters

When it may not be suitable

This adapter is intended for panel installation and is not designed as a free-hanging inline coupler. It does not provide additional shielding or active signal conditioning; for applications where impedance matching, amplification or advanced RF filtering is required, a dedicated RF component should be used instead. The adapter is a passive mechanical transition and may not be suitable where waterproofing, severe vibration resistance, or specialized environmental sealing is mandatory.

Key specifications

• Connector conversion: IEC plug interface to F-type coaxial socket
• Mounting style: panel mount for fixed installation
• Finish/color: black
• Typical use: transition between power/signal IEC wiring and RF F-type coaxial cabling

How to use

Cut an appropriately sized opening in the equipment panel or front plate and insert the adapter so the F-type socket faces the exterior or intended access side. Secure the adapter according to the device mounting method (press-fit, screw or nut as applicable) so it is flush and mechanically stable. Connect the IEC plug side from the internal wiring or harness and attach the external F-type coaxial connector to the front-facing socket. Verify mechanical retention and test continuity or signal integrity after installation to confirm a correct connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm panel cut-out dimensions and mounting method compatibility with your enclosure
• Ensure the IEC and F-type connector types match the cables and devices you intend to use
• Assess whether passive mechanical conversion meets your electrical and environmental requirements

Usage recommendations

For reliable results, mount the adapter in a supported location with minimal flexing of attached cables, use correctly matched coaxial cables and connectors, and perform a basic continuity or signal check after installation. If exposure to moisture or strong vibration is expected, consider additional sealing or a purpose-built, environmentally rated feed-through.
