FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the right-angle design?
The right-angle design allows the connector to sit flush against surfaces or equipment, saving space and reducing the risk of cable damage in tight installations.
What does the solder barrier feature do?
The solder barrier prevents molten solder from flowing into the contact mating area during assembly, ensuring a cleaner connection and preserving the integrity of the contact surface.
How many cable outlet positions can the NC3FRX accommodate?
The connector offers 5 selectable cable outlet positions, providing significant flexibility for cable routing and management.
What materials are used in the construction of the NC3FRX?
It is constructed from Nickel, Polyamide, Polyoxymethylene (POM), Polyurethane, and Zinc steel for durability and performance.
Is this connector suitable for power connections?
No, the NC3FRX is designed specifically for audio signals (like XLR connections) and is not rated for power transmission.
How do I choose the correct cable outlet position?
The chuck housing can be rotated to select the desired angle for the cable to exit the connector. Consult the product manual for detailed instructions on adjustment.
What is the operating temperature range?
The operating temperature range for the NC3FRX is -30 °C to 80 °C.
Troubleshooting
No audio signal or intermittent signal
Check solder connections for integrity. Ensure the male XLR connector is fully seated. Verify that the cable wires are correctly terminated to the corresponding pins.
Connector feels loose or does not lock securely
Ensure the rear housing is fully tightened. Check the latch mechanism for any obstructions or damage. Verify the male XLR connector is not damaged.
Difficulty assembling the cable
Ensure the cable diameter is within the specified range for the strain relief chuck. Make sure all components are aligned correctly during reassembly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Disassemble the connector by unscrewing the rear end.
- Strip the cable and prepare the wires for soldering.
- Solder the wires to the designated pins, ensuring the solder does not flow past the designated contact area.
- Position the boot over the cable and then slide the chuck mechanism over the wires.
- Reassemble the connector by sliding the chuck and barrel over the internal contacts and screwing the rear end back on securely.
- Adjust the cable outlet position as needed by rotating the chuck housing.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with standard 3-pin XLR male connectors.
- Suitable for microphone, line-level, and DMX signal applications.
- Check operating temperature range (-30 to 80 °C) for suitability in extreme environments.
Care:
- Keep connectors clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry, lint-free cloth for regular cleaning.
- Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or corrosive substances.
- Periodically inspect contacts for any signs of damage or contamination. If necessary, use an appropriate electronic contact cleaner and allow to dry thoroughly before use.
