RapcoNeutrik XX-Series XLR 3-Pin Inline Connector Silver Contacts Female
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Rapco’s female 3-pin XLR inline connector is a black, silver-contact cable-end connector for cable builds and assembly work. It accepts 3.5–8.0 mm cable and wire up to 14 AWG, with a latch lock to secure the connection. The design focuses on simpler assembly, contact integrity, and cable strain relief, while its more-than-1,000 mating-cycle rating suits connections that will be plugged and unplugged repeatedly.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Assembling a female 3-pin XLR cable end within its specified cable and wire limits.
- Cable work that benefits from a latch-lock connector and integrated strain relief.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Cable with an outer diameter below 3.5 mm or above 8.0 mm.
- Wire larger than 14 AWG.
