NC3MX Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Neutrik NC3MX is a 3-pole male cable connector, widely recognized as an industry standard for XLR connections. It features a Nickel housing and silver contacts, providing reliable performance.

 

Designed for ease of assembly with only four parts and no screws, the NC3MX boasts a compact design. Its construction includes a sturdy diecast shell, a fiberglass-reinforced hard plastic insert, and a chuck-type strain relief system for secure cable clamping. The boot with a rubber gland offers high protection against bending stresses.

 

Key electrical specifications include a contact resistance of ≤ 3 mΩ, a dielectric strength of 1.5 kVdc, and an insulation resistance greater than 10 GΩ. The rated current per contact is 16 A, with a rated voltage of less than 50 V. Mechanically, it supports cable outer diameters from 3.5 to 8.0 mm and wire sizes up to 2.5 mm² or 14 AWG. The connector has a lifetime exceeding 1000 mating cycles.

 

Environmental considerations include an IP40 protection class and a temperature range of -30 °C to +80 °C. It is UL recognized and complies with IEC 61076-2-103 standards. The connector utilizes solder contacts and a latch lock mechanism.
