About this product
Nickel/Silver Neutrik NC3FXX female 3-pin XLR cable connector
This Nickel/Silver Neutrik NC3FXX is an XX Series female 3-pin XLR cable-end connector with a Nickel-plated zinc diecast shell and silver-plated contacts. It accepts 3.5–8.0 mm outside-diameter cable and uses solder termination with chuck-type strain relief. This listing is for one connector, not a panel-mount receptacle or a finished cable.
Choose your finish and connection
This is the Nickel/Silver NC3FXX. Other single-connector finishes are NC3FXX-BAG Black/Silver and NC3FXX-B Black/Gold. Confirm that your mating connection is a compatible male 3-pin XLR.
Cable fit and assembly
Cable outer diameter: 3.5–8.0 mm. The listed maximum wire size is 2.5 mm² or 14 AWG. Check both jacket diameter and conductor fit before ordering, including the combined conductor size when using paired Star Quad wiring.
Soldering and cable assembly are required. Follow Neutrik’s assembly instructions and your equipment’s pinout requirements. The female contacts incorporate a solder barrier to help prevent solder entering the mating area, while chuck-type strain relief and a polyurethane boot support the cable at the connector exit.
