Neutrik 3 Pole Male XLR Receptacle, Vertical PCB Mount

The Neutrik NC3MAAV is a cost-effective, high-quality XLR connector engineered for professional audio and electronic applications. Featuring a 3-pole male XLR receptacle with a round, glass-reinforced polyamide body, it is specifically designed for reliable vertical PCB mounting.

A key feature is the separate ground contact, which connects directly to the mating connector shell and front panel, ensuring excellent grounding and electromagnetic shielding independent of Pin 1. This design enhances signal integrity in demanding audio environments.

Reliable Performance

The connector utilises durable 'Tulip' type contacts made from brass with selective gold plating. This combination ensures high-pressure contact, superior conductivity, and excellent solderability for a secure and long-lasting electrical connection. A positive latch lock mechanism guarantees secure mating and prevents accidental disconnection.

Built to withstand rigorous use, it offers a mechanical lifetime of over 1000 mating cycles and operates reliably across a broad temperature range from -30°C to +80°C. Its robust construction meets the UL94 HB flammability standard and provides IP40 protection against ingress.

Technical Specifications

• Electrical Ratings: 6 A current, < 50 V voltage.
