Designed to mate with the Neutrik EMC XLR cable connector, this NC3FD-LX 3-Pole Female Receptacle from the DLX series is a D-style, 3-pole XLR-female receptacle sporting a nickel housing and silver contacts. Its all-metal housing and duplex ground contact offers RF protection and electromagnetic shielding, while its cage-type female contact facilitates conductivity without causing excess wear on any mated male contact. An incorporated solder barrier ensures that solder won't run into the contact mating area. With its D-style housing, it's compatible with industry-standard D-mounting dimensions.
