What are the key features of NC3FDV?
- 3-pin female XLR PCB-mount socket with gold-plated contacts for low-resistance balanced audio signal transfer
- Robust metal body construction provides shielding and mechanical durability in studio and live-sound equipment
- RoHS-compliant design meets environmental standards; compatible with standard 3-pin XLR wiring (pin 1 ground, pin 2 hot, pin 3 cold)
What is NC3FDV used for?
NC3FDV is widely used in professional audio mixers, preamplifiers, and stage boxes where a PCB-mounted female XLR receptacle is needed for balanced microphone or line-level connections. Its gold-plated 3-pin contacts ensure low contact resistance and corrosion resistance over thousands of mating cycles. The connector is also employed in broadcast equipment, studio interfaces, and installed AV systems demanding reliable XLR connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many mating cycles can the NC3FDV gold-plated contacts withstand, and why does contact material matter?
Neutrik XLR connectors including the NC3FDV are rated for at least 500 mating cycles. Gold-plated contacts maintain low contact resistance below 5 milliohms even after repeated insertions, preventing signal degradation in balanced audio paths where contact quality directly affects noise floor and channel separation.
What wiring convention applies to NC3FDV when connecting balanced microphone signals?
NC3FDV follows the standard 3-pin XLR wiring: pin 1 is chassis ground, pin 2 carries the hot (positive) balanced signal, and pin 3 carries the cold (negative) balanced signal. This balanced 2-wire plus ground configuration provides common-mode noise rejection, reducing interference over cable runs up to several hundred meters.
How does NC3FDV's PCB-mount design compare to panel-mount XLR connectors for equipment manufacturing?
The NC3FDV PCB-mount format solders directly to the circuit board, eliminating the additional wiring harness and labor required for panel-mount XLR connectors. This reduces assembly time and improves signal path consistency in production audio equipment such as mixing consoles and audio interfaces, where keeping the analog signal path short and well-grounded is critical.
