Description

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.

Features

Reliable Male XLR Connector: Designed for balanced audio connections, offering consistent signal transfer and improved contact integrity.

Durable All-Metal Housing: Rugged zinc diecast shell with nickel plating ensures long-lasting performance in demanding environments.

Enhanced Locking Mechanism: Updated latch lock design without side window provides secure connections and greater durability.

Improved Strain Relief: Chuck-type strain relief and flexible polyurethane boot reduce cable stress and increase pull-out resistance.

Easy and Fast Assembly: Internal threading and ergonomic design make the connector simple to assemble and user-friendly.

High Electrical Integrity: Low contact resistance, high insulation resistance, and solder contacts for dependable performance.

Versatile Cable Compatibility: Supports cable outer diameters from 3.5 mm to 8.0 mm and accommodates wire sizes up to 14 AWG.

Customization Options: Compatible with colored rings and boots for easy identification and coding in complex setups.
