FEATURES & APPLICATIONS
The IO-XLR3-M-BK and IO-XLR3-F-BK connectors feature durable die cast zinc shells with
built in latch locks which provide a reliable connection when mated with the opposite gender.
They also feature a sturdy plastic insert that tightens onto the cable to provide strain relief
while an additional rubber boot delivers extended support from excessive bending. The silver
plated contacts ensure a great signal every time. 3 pin XLR connectors are a perfect solution for
applications requiring a rugged and dependable locking connection. Because the housing
construction is threaded, the connectors require no tools for assembly, making them ideal for
onsite termination and allow the user to be able to troubleshoot connection issues quickly. This
connector is perfect for use in balanced audio, DMX, low voltage power, and control
applications where the termination method is solder cups.
These connectors are also available with gold plated contacts (IO-XLR3-M-BKAU &
IO-XLR3-F-BKAU)
