Neutrik 1/4 inch Locking Jack Panel Socket 3-Pole

The Neutrik 1/4 inch Locking Jack Panel Socket 3-Pole is a panel-mount audio connector with three contacts, suited to stereo or balanced mono signals. Its latch-locking mechanism secures a standard A-gauge 1/4 inch plug when inserted, giving a positive, click-secure connection.

Key Features

The socket has a black-plated zinc die-cast metal shell (D-size) that provides durability and electromagnetic shielding. Pressing the red release tab frees the plug for quick, safe disconnection without the risk of damaging cables or equipment. Silver-plated brass contacts support conductivity and low contact resistance, while the polyamide insert and POM strain relief support cable retention and mechanical stability.

Grounding Options

The socket arrives in a standard isolated configuration. A sleeve-to-panel ground connection can be established by removing the red plastic isolator from the lateral mounting screw.

Applications

The connector is designed for live sound, touring, and fixed installations, as well as any scenario where cable security is paramount.
