The Neutrik NC3FXS female XLR connector is a reliable and robust solution for professional audio applications, designed to ensure high-quality connections in a variety of environments.
Featuring a die-cast zinc housing and nickel plating, this connector offers increased durability and protection against impact and wear.

With a current capacity of 16 A per contact and an insulation resistance greater than 10 GΩ, it is ideal for configurations requiring high electrical robustness. The hook-type locking system ensures a secure and stable connection, while the polyacetal strain relief provides effective cable retention, preventing breakage and failure.

In addition, the Neutrik NC3FXS is equipped with a solder contact crimping system, providing wiring flexibility for cables up to 2.5 mm² or 14 AWG. Its design incorporates a noiseless ON-OFF switch that short-circuits contacts 2 and 3, particularly useful for microphones without a switch.

This connector is distinguished by its polyamide insert for effective insulation, its polyurethane sheath for increased resistance to mechanical stress, and a "chuck" type strain relief system that ensures secure cable retention while providing additional protection against bending.
