This connector is precision made to the highest standards (All Neutrik connectors are made to IEC standard sizes cheaper connectors are not). All materials used in the making of this connector are high-grade. 

Neutrik have been making connectors since 1975 and have become one of the most recognized manufacturers all over the world for quality, reliability and robustness. Many of the leading audio manufacturers now will only use Neutrik on their audio equipment due to the outstanding reputation which has been seen throughout the decades.

The Neutrik Female NC3FXX-BAG connector has 3 solder bucket contacts for the connection of screened cables. Neutrik has designed a unique chuck-like cable cord grip that operates when the rear boot is screwed into the metal shell and tightens the grip up, which ensures the cable stays in position. This is truly a great design over cheaper alternatives. 

We use these connectors on our custom-made leads and have been doing so for many years. We use these connectors simply because we trust them and know they won't let us/you down at the critical time when they are most needed.

Please note these are from a bulk box of connectors NC3FXX-BAG-D and will be pre-assembled. We only use -D bulk box connectors due to us using so many and of course, we can pass on the saving to you as the non -D version NC3FXX comes in a plastic bag which costs more and of course, it is one less plastic bag.
