Neutrik NC3MD‑L‑1 – 3‑Pin Male XLR Chassis Receptacle (Solder Cups) Overview The Neutrik NC3MD‑L‑1 is a D‑series, 3‑pole male XLR panel-mount receptacle, offering solder-cup style terminations. It features a nickel-plated die-cast shell, silver-plated contacts, and supports robust, professional audio connectivity. It is commonly used in audio equipment chassis, patch bays, mixing desks, and pro‑audio installations. As an authorized distributor, Tri‑Tek Electronics assures full manufacturer warranty coverage and best pricing and factory support for this product. Our Mesa, AZ location enables local customers in Phoenix, Tempe, Chandler, and surrounding areas to request pickup or fast delivery. Key Features & Benefits Robust nickel-plated “D” shell with excellent mechanical protection Silver-plated contacts (2 μm Ag over 2 μm Ni) for reliable low-resistance connections Solder-cup termination (no screw terminals) for secure, low-noise connections Standard D-size cut-out (24 mm panel hole) — compatible with many pro audio components Excellent electrical specs: contact resistance ≤ 5 mΩ, insulation resistance > 10 GΩ, dielectric strength 1.5 kV dc Rated for up to 16 A per contact, ≤ 50 V (AC/DC) typical audio environments Designed for > 1000 mating cycles for durable mechanical life UL-recognized component, compliant with IEC 61076‑2‑103 Operating temperature range: –30 °C to +80 °C Specifications (Condensed) Parameter Value Connector Type 3‑pole male XLR, chassis receptacle Termination Solder cups Shell / Housing Zinc die-cast “D” shell, nickel-plated Contact Material / Plating Brass with silver plating (2 μm Ag over 2 μm Ni) Contact Resistance ≤ 5 mΩ Insulation Resistance > 10 GΩ (initial) Dielectric Strength 1.5 kV DC Rated Current 16 A per contact Rated Voltage < 50 V Insertion / Withdrawal Force ≤ 20 N Mating Cycles > 1000 Panel Cut-out Standard 24 mm D‑size XLR chassis cut-out Temperature Range –30 °C to +80 °C Compliance / Standards UL recognized, IEC 61076‑2‑103 Protection Class IP 40 Example Installation / Usage Scenario Suppose you’re fabricating a custom audio interface box for live performance or a studio patch bay. You install the NC3MD‑L‑1 onto the front face of a steel rack panel with the standard D-shaped cut-out. From the rear, you solder XLR cable or internal wiring (e.g. to a transformer, preamp, or internal signal bus). Because of the well-shielded metal shell and coaxial ground contact design, the assembly helps preserve signal integrity and minimize interference—especially when mated with Neutrik XLR cables or connectors in the D-series family. For example, using it as an input connection on a rack-mounted DI box or a distribution box ensures secure locking, solid contact, and longevity through repeated cable insertions/removals. Tips for Use & Best Practices Use a high-quality soldering iron with appropriate tip and good technique; avoid excessive heat that could damage the plastic insert. Pre-tin wires and the solder cups before final soldering to improve consistency. Be careful with strain relief: ensure the cable or internal wiring is secured so mechanical stresses aren’t transferred to the solder joints. Use matching D-series mating XLR connectors (Neutrik or compatible) to maintain proper shell contact and shielding. If you need a black-housing or gold-contact variant, consider models like NC3MD‑L‑BAG‑1 (black shell, silver contacts) or NC3MD‑L‑B‑1 (black shell, gold contacts).

Neutrik NC3MXX‑BAG – 3‑Pole Male Inline XLR Connector (Black Housing, Silver Contacts) Overview The NC3MXX‑BAG is part of Neutrik’s XX series of XLR cable connectors. It’s a 3‑pole male inline (cable‑mount) connector with a black shell and silver contacts. Designed for demanding audio use, it features enhanced mechanical durability, improved strain relief, and easier assembly compared to legacy XLR connectors. As an authorized distributor, Tri‑Tek Electronics provides genuine Neutrik parts with full warranty support, local pickup or fast delivery in the Phoenix / Mesa / AZ area, and reliable stock for both hobbyist and pro installations. Key Features & Benefits Black housing (KTL / black chrome style) with silver‑plated contacts Solder‑type terminations Rugged zinc die-cast shell, designed for long life Improved locking recess (no “window”) for better shell rigidity Chuck‑type strain relief for stronger cable retention Polyurethane boot for bend protection at the cable exit Internal thread on shell, protected from damage Available colored rings/boots for cable identification or color coding Ergonomic design for easier handling during assembly and connections Specifications Electrical Capacitance between contacts: ≤ 4 pF Contact resistance: ≤ 3 mΩ Dielectric strength: 1.5 kV DC Insulation resistance: > 10 GΩ (initial) Rated current (each contact): 16 A Rated voltage: < 50 V Mechanical / Cable Cable external diameter range: 3.5 – 8.0 mm Maximum wire cross section: 2.5 mm² (approx. 14 AWG) Insertion / withdrawal force: ≤ 20 N Mechanical life: > 1,000 mating cycles Operating temperature: –30 °C to +80 °C Protection class: IP 40 Materials & Construction Contacts: Brass, silver plated (2 µm) Shell / Locking element: Zinc die‑cast alloy Insert: Polyamide (PA66) Boot: Polyurethane Strain relief: Polyacetal (POM) Shell coating: Black KTL / “black chrome” style Typical Use / Application Scenario This connector is ideal for building or repairing microphone cables, instrument leads, patch cables, or custom balanced audio lines. You would strip the cable, pass it through the boot and strain relief, solder the three conductors to the solder cups in the contact insert, then tighten the shell and strain relief. The upgraded strain relief and shell design help resist cable pull or flexing stresses over time. For example, in a live sound rig you might use NC3MXX‑BAG connectors to build custom length mic cables that match your stage layout. The robust build helps prevent failures from repeated handling, and the option for color coded boots or rings makes quick cable identification easier during setup. Installation Tips & Best Practices Pre‑tin both wire ends and connector solder cups before final soldering for cleaner joints. Avoid overheating the plastic insert—use a controlled soldering iron, not excessive dwell time. Ensure proper strain relief: after soldering, tighten the shell and clamp so that mechanical forces act on the boot/relief, not on the solder joints. Use matching XX‑series female connectors to maintain shell contact and shielding. Use colored rings or boots (available separately) for cable identification or channel labeling without altering wiring.

During assembly, the installer slides the boot and strain relief onto the cable, solders the conductors to the connector’s solder cups, and secures the internal components with the chuck-style strain relief. The result is a durable, flexible cable that withstands regular use in both studio and stage environments. An installer might use this connector to fabricate custom-length XLR cables for a stage rack, where consistent performance and mechanical durability are critical. The high mating cycle rating makes it particularly suitable for touring and live audio setups. Tips & Best Practices Pre‑tin both wire ends and connector solder cups before final soldering Avoid overheating the insert during soldering—use a temperature-controlled iron Ensure the strain relief clamps the cable jacket, not just the conductors Pair with XX-series female connectors for best mechanical and electrical fit Add color-coded boots or rings for system organization and channel identification

The installer strips the cable, slides on the boot and strain-relief components, solders the conductors (shield, hot, cold) to the designated solder cups, and secures the assembly using the chuck-type strain relief. The robust mechanical design helps minimize stress on solder joints during regular flexing or movement. For example, in a mobile recording rig, an engineer might use NC3FXX connectors to create balanced microphone extension cables. The high contact integrity, solid latch, and mechanical durability suit demanding field use. Installation Tips & Best Practices Pre-tin both cable conductors and the solder cups before final soldering Use a temperature-controlled soldering iron and minimize dwell time to avoid damaging the insert Ensure that the strain relief clamps the cable jacket instead of conductors Use matching “XX‑series” male connectors to maintain consistent mechanical and shielding interface Optionally, apply colored ring or boot inserts to help label or differentiate channels
