QG3M Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The QG3M is a male insert component from the QG series by Conxall/Switchcraft, designed for use with compatible XLR connector shells. It features three positions with silver-plated brass contact pins, providing reliable conductivity for audio and signal applications. The insert uses solder cup termination for secure wire connections and has a keyed orientation to prevent mismating.

 

The insulator is made of green polyester material with a UL94V-0 flammability rating, ensuring fire safety. The insert includes a ground feature and is intended for use only with a separate shell, which must be ordered separately. The contacts are made of brass with silver plating, offering good electrical performance and corrosion resistance.

 

This insert is part of the standard QG series, which uses brass silver-plated contacts. For applications requiring gold plating, the professional series (QGP_M) is available with phosphor bronze contacts and gold over nickel plating. The QG3M is a direct replacement for the original Switchcraft part and is cross-referenced as DigiKey SC2865-ND.
