Three-pole XLR male, nickel shell, silver contacts, latch lock, solder terminals, zinc diecast housing, strain relief boot, supports up to 16 amps, IP40 rated



The NC3MXX is a 3-pole male XLR cable connector with a nickel-plated zinc diecast housing and silver-plated brass contacts, designed as the next generation of the industry-standard X series. Built for durability and reliability, it features an improved locking recess, rugged shell construction, and a chuck-type strain relief system that ensures higher pull-out force and easier assembly.

A polyurethane boot with gland protects against cable bending stress, while optional colored rings and boots allow for easy coding or identification. Engineered for professional audio applications, the NC3MXX is rated for over 1000 mating cycles, with 16 A current capacity, <=3 m ohm contact resistance, and full compliance with IEC 61076-2-103 standards.
