Neutrik Americas NC3FDX-TOP 3-pin Female Xlr Connector

Product Description

The NEUTRIK AMERICAS NC3FDX-TOP is a 3-pin female XLR connector designed for solder-cup termination. It features a black housing with gold-plated contacts, offering reliable signal integrity in audio and low-voltage signal wiring applications. This top-entry chassis connector mounts to panels and enclosures, providing a secure, low-noise interconnect point for balanced audio lines. Audio installers, AV integrators, and sound reinforcement technicians use this type of connector when building or repairing snake cables, stage boxes, mic lines, and rack-mounted equipment.

This connector is suited for permanent panel-mount installations in professional audio environments. Typical applications include stage boxes, audio patch bays, mixing consoles, amplifier rack enclosures, and broadcast equipment where a rugged, solder-terminated female XLR chassis mount is required. The top-entry orientation simplifies cable routing in tight enclosures and panel builds.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by AV technicians or audio system integrators. De-energize all connected equipment before soldering or mounting. Use appropriate soldering iron wattage and rosin-core solder suitable for audio connectors to avoid cold joints or contact damage. Ensure the panel cutout and mounting hardware match the connector body dimensions before installation.
